Malayalam superstar Mohanlal`s ambitious project, The Mahabharata, has run into trouble even before the project went on the floors. A pro-Hindu group has threatened to stall the release of the film demanding the makers to change the title of the film. But, now the film seems to have received the endorsement of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Modi has said he is awaiting the release of the film, which will be a matter of pride for the entire nation. The film`s crew will meet the Prime Minister on July 7. This is significant in the wake of a threat from Kerala Hindu Aikya Vedi president KP Sasikala. The outfit had announced that it won`t allow the release of the film unless the name of the film is changed. They have a condition – only a film which is close to the story of real Mahabharatham written by Vyasan should carry its name. No other movie can be named Mahabharatham. Producer Shetty announced that the film will release as Randamoozham, the original title of MT Vasudevan Nair`s award-winning novel, in Malayalam. In rest of the world, it will release as The Mahabharata. In MT`s novel, the epic story is narrated from the perspective of Bheema, which will be played by Mohanlal. The film will be made in two parts with an estimated budget of Rs 1000 core. Each film will be 3 hours long and will have a huge star cast and crew from around the world.
