After the success of Kill, director Nikhil Nagesh Bhat is working on a larger cinematic project—a vast mythological epic. Kill not only created ripples at all the international film festivals but also ran well in India, which established Nikhil as a promising action filmmaking specialist. Now, Nikhil is said to be holding advanced negotiations with global star Ram Charan for his ambitious mythological film.
Sources indicate that Nikhil and Ram Charan have been in serious talks for a period drama on an epic scale set against the Indian mythology backdrop. Produced by acclaimed producer Madhu Mantena, this film is said to revolve around a significant mythological figure, promising a high-octane cinematic experience with larger-than-life storytelling.
The pre-visualization work on the film is said to be complete, meaning that the team has worked meticulously on the visual aesthetics, the narrative, and the technical execution. With a filmmaker like Nikhil, who has a penchant for intense action and gripping storytelling, this mythological epic may well be one for the books.
There is no word from Ram Charan, but speculation began to grow since Nikhil Nagesh Bhat started following him on social media. Fans are assuming this is one major hint that the hero might be considering it.
Ram Charan is currently filming the much-awaited sports drama under the direction of Buchi Babu Sana. The film is scheduled to hit the screens later this year. If he does accept this mythological film, it will be another feather in his cap, following the success of RRR on the global circuit.
While official confirmation is awaited, all signs point to a major cinematic collaboration in the making. If Ram Charan gives the green light, this project could become one of the biggest mythological films in Indian cinema.
