"I grew up on tales rooted in our history and mythology. My father, Gulshan Kumar, was a devotee of Shiva, Ram and Mata Rani, and for me, this is a way of carrying his dream forward. That’s why, when Om narrated the script to me, I was immediately excited. We will start shooting by January with Prabhas leading the cast, which will include another big name playing the antagonist," concluded Bhushan Kumar. Well, looks like Kartik Arayan fans will have to wait for a bit before they see the chiselled actor flaunt some action chops and moves in his action drama.
