According to sources close to the project, Sachin Ravi, a Kannada film editor turned filmmaker, would helm the historical epic for the Bhagnanis. "Sachin Ravi has been in talks with the producers for some time now, and things are finally moving forward. It's based on one of the most intriguing figures from the Mahabharata, and Sachin is excited to explore this universe with Shahid in the titular role," a person close to the project told. Sachin is best known for directing Rakshit Shetty in the much-loved action adventure ‘Avane Srimannarayana.’

According to the source, Shahid has been wanting to shoot a large-scale period picture for a long time and has been exploring several period film concepts with various partners. He has finally found a partner who shares his vision and is working together to produce something exceptional for the public. Sachin has worked as an editor on some of the most important Kannada films, and he is also a VFX specialist.

“Sachin has the right vision and knowledge to mount the story at the scale that it warrants. He is fascinated by the idea of creating unexplored visuals and that’s exactly what this rendition of a character from Mahabharata warrants. He has found the right partners in Pooja Entertainment, who are going all out with their support on the budget front,” the source concluded.
