Veteran Telugu producer Allu Arvind, one of the top producers in the country, has joined hands with Madhu Mantena and Namit Malhotra to bring the epic tale of Ramayana to the big screen. The big budget visual spectacle is going to be shot in three languages – Telugu, Tamil and Hindi, and will be released in three parts. The film will also be shot in 3D.
Neerja fame director Ram Madhvani has been reportedly signed to helm the project, which is planned to be made on a whopping budget of Rs. 500 crores.
Talking about the ambitious project, Allu Arvind said in a statement, “It’s a huge responsibility, but the Ramayana needs to be told on the big screen in the most magnificent way possible. We are committed to delivering a spectacular extravaganza.”
Currently, the team is putting together a terrific team of actors and technicians to make this film on par with international standards. The shooting is expected to begin in October or November this year. More details about the film will be announced shortly.
