“Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has always wanted to make a film on Karna. It’s a subject he has been toying with for a long time but couldn’t give it a shape due to the budget and scale it requires. With Ronnie Screwvala coming on board as producer, and Shahid Kapoor leading the cast, Mehra is now all set to liven up his passion project,” a source revealed to the portal.

According to the reports, it is still unclear whether the film will be a modern contemporary adaptation or will stick to its original mythological plot.

As per Bollywood Hungama, this movie will reportedly be based on the point of view of Shahid’s character, Karna, the spiritual son of Surya and a loyal friend to Duryodhana.
