More about the magnum opus
Interestingly, Rajamouli will not be helming the magnum opus and will instead bankroll it with his son SS Karthikeya. The project is co-produced by Varun Gupta.
The film will be helmed by Nitin Kakkar of Jawaani Jaaneman fame. Kakkar's debut film, the National Award-winning Filmistaan was an ode to Bollywood and it will be interesting to see his approach for the upcoming film.

Making a biopic is tough in itself, but conceiving one about the FATHER OF INDIAN CINEMA is even more challenging. Our boys are ready and up for it..:)
