Bengaluru, (PTI) For their next movie venture, filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri and his actor-wife Pallavi Joshi have zeroed in on the critically-acclaimed Kannada novel, “Parva”, by S L Bhyrappa.
The 1979 Kannada book is a retelling of the Sanskrit epic ‘Mahabharata’. Considered among Bhyrappa’s most widely debated and popular works, “Parva” weaves its tale through the personal reflections of the principal characters.
“I was looking for a historical recounting of ‘Mahabharat’ and then I learnt Bhyrappa spent decades researching and that he even visited the places that the epic was set in,” Agnihotri said at the launch of the first-look poster of the film here on Friday evening.
