Renowned filmmaker SS Rajamouli has long expressed his desire to bring the epic Mahabharata to the silver screen. However, recent developments suggest that director Trivikram Srinivas will be taking on the ambitious project before Rajamouli. Readers may recall that Trivikram and popular actor Allu Arjun are set to collaborate on a film. Interestingly, it is said that the upcoming flick will serve as a modern adaptation of two lesser-known parvas (chapters) from the Mahabharata.

For the unversed, soon after the project was announced yesterday, July 3, speculation on social media suggested that the film could be a socio-fantasy project. However, as per a report by Mirchi 9, reliable sources close to the makers have confirmed that it will indeed be a contemporary retelling of the ancient epic. Drawing inspiration from Mani Ratnam's acclaimed film Dalapathi, which featured superstars Rajinikanth and Mammootty, this new venture aims to captivate audiences with its fusion of mythology and modern storytelling.

Going by Trivikram’s filmography, he is stepping into a project that aligns with his strengths. The film is expected to push creative boundaries under his directorial vision, promising an unforgettable cinematic experience. Backed by Haarika and Hassine Creations in association with Geetha Arts, this collaboration between Allu Arjun and Trivikram holds tremendous potential to leave a lasting impact on the industry.

However, it is worth mentioning here that the makers have neither confirmed the news nor shared any details regarding the story of the upcoming film. Speaking of Trivikram and Allu Arjun’s previous collaborations, Julaayi, S/O Satyamurthy, and Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, all of them worked well at the box office.
