I Can’t Write for That Film – Rajamouli’s Father

What’s next after ‘Baahubali’ for Rajamouli? This is the question in every film lover’s mind across the country. There is one more question. If Rajammouli decides to make ‘Mahabharata’, will his father, writer Vijayendra Prasad pen the script?

“Of course, not,” says the writer of ‘Baahubali’ and ‘Bhajrangi Bhaijaan’. He says it was already written and he isn’t going to, write it. The writer also mentioned the other film made on ‘Mahabharata’. He meant Mohanlal’s Rs. 1000 crore budget film based on the novel ‘Randamoozham’.

Why is the writer not interested in writing the script for Mahabharata, if given a chance? Vijayendra Prasad thinks that it is difficult to write an epic of such a scale which has many lead characters and each character has its own identity. Telling everything in one story is difficult. That’s the greatness of our Indian epics.
