Films inspired by mythology are trending once again, especially after the announcement of Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana. Now, reports suggest John Abraham is gearing up for a modern-era film based on the Mahabharata.
According to sources, director Arun Gopalan, known for Tehran, has written a contemporary adaptation of the epic. John was reportedly impressed with the script and Arun’s vision to retell the greatest story in a modern setting.
The film is tentatively titled Duryodhana, with John expected to play the iconic character. He will also produce the project along with Sandeep Leyzell. Pre-production will begin next year, and filming is planned for June 2026.
