Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s collaboration with Shahid Kapoor for his magnum opus based on Karna of the Mahabharata first made news last January. Since then, a lot has changed. While the Jersey actor is no longer associated with it, producer Ronnie Screwvala backed out of it too. Now, it is being said that Rakesh’s Toofaan hero, Farhan Akhtar is producing the film, titled Karna, with Ritesh Sidhwani under their banner. Talk is that Rakeysh is contemplating a two-part movie, to be made on a budget of about R200 crore. Reportedly, he feels that the story is too vast, and with several important characters being a part of the narrative, just a two-and-half hour film won’t do justice to the subject. The filmmaker has also got Anand Neelkanthan, an expert on mythology, to team up with him in scripting his ambitious venture.
