Bollywood rekindles its love affair with mythology, a slew of big films are in the offing

Hindustan Times  

Baahubali’s massive success has clearly reinstated Indian filmmakers’ love for mythology. A number of big-budget films including Akshay Kumar’s Ram Setu, Prabhas’ Adipurush, Vicky Kaushal’s The Immortal Ashwatthama, Deepika Padukone’s Draupadi, Nitish Tiwari’s Ramayan Trilogy and Ravi Udyawar’s next are in the queue. Announcing Ram Setu, Kumar expressed excitement on social media by saying, “.Let us endeavour to keep alive the ideals of Ram in the consciousness of all Bharatiyas by building a bridge that will connect generations to come…”, while Prabhas was quoted as saying how portraying a character like Lord Ram in Adipurush “comes with tremendous responsibility and pride”. Given Baahubali’s performance in overseas market, filmmakers have realised that such films work globally, claims trade Expert Joginder Tuteja. However, Adarsh shares that making these films can be “tricky” given that one can’t afford to make factual errors, hence a lot of research is required.
