The filmmaker had recently talked about his plans of making two epics, Ramayana and Mahabharata. Today, the filmmaker announced on his social media about the 'Mytho-Verse' he is looking to bring on-screens. He had shared, "The universe is all about retelling the stories in their glory and telling newer stories with these characters in Kali Yuga".
"The beauty of mythology is that the stories are relevant even in today’s society. So, I am creating a world called Mytho-Verse. The story starts in Treta Yuga and then moves to Dwapara Yuga and finally, Kali Yuga. We are trying to create a universe transcending not just the past, but also going into the future. The universe is all about retelling the stories in their glory and telling newer stories with these characters in Kali Yuga," he explained.
