Maniratnam's magnum opus!


Just read in rediff today that Mangal Pandey's producer Bobby Bedi's next 200 crore venture is Mahabarath, directed by none other than Maniratnam. Work for the movie starts in 2006.

Remember Thalapathi? Maniratnam had reprised the classic Karnan story as Rajni's life story, and glorified the Karnan-Duryodhan friendship with the Rajni-Mammoty relationship. Many scenes in Thalapathi were inspired by the Mahabarath!

If this news from rediff is true, it surely could end up being the greatest movie in indian cinema. I cant wait!
