Bollywood’s Game Of Throne At 1000 Crore Budget!

In a good news to bollywood fans, India's richest businessman Mukesh Ambani is reportedly producing Aamir Khan’s ‘Maharabharata’-style magnum opus with a huge budget of Rs 1,000 Crores.

Though there has not been any confirmation, rumours suggest that Aamir is planning a ‘Mahabharata’ franchise on the lines of ‘Lord of the Rings’ and ‘Game of Thrones’.

The superstar had earlier revealed that making a film on ‘Mahabharata’ was his dream, something he couldn’t do as it’d take him 15-20 years.

Aamir allegedly opted out of a biopic on astronaut Rakesh Sharma, to focus on his ambitious project.

Ambani owns stake in Viacom 18 and has recently invested in production houses like Eros and Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji. He is also planning a Netflix-like offering on his famous Jio platform, on which Siddharth Roy Kapur is working on, bringing ‘Narcos’ co-creator Christopher Branchato for a writers’ masterclass recently.

Reports claim that it was not yet clear if Ambani will get into full-fledged production with this massive project and in all probability it's only a "one-off" project.Looks like a turnover is on the cards for Bollywood with Ambani's latest plan.
