A Grand Vision for Indian Cinema
Director Nitesh Tiwari, known for Dangal, is leading the project alongside producer Namit Malhotra. Together, they aim to create a visually stunning adaptation of the ancient Indian epic. Sunny emphasized that the movie would use high-quality special effects to create a sense of realism, avoiding pitfalls like those seen in Adipurush.
