Director VA Shrikumar Menon recently said that he firmly believes Mohanlal and writer MT Vasudevan Nair will bring Oscars to India with the biggest film India has ever seen. His film, to be produced with a budget of 1000 crores and announced as "Mahabharatha-Randamoozham" will feature international artists and technicians in it.
The director said that the rights of this highest paid script in Indian Cinema were bought from the legendary writer MT Vasudevan Nair by guaranteeing that it will be made into a movie within 15 years. Even characters that come in for just two scenes have a significant impact in the film and thus requires great actors to play them. He also said that the movie would release by 2020 and the casting will be done with the help of an internationally renowned casting agency.
