I made it serious, so people would take it seriously, if a director were to read it. People already know all the funny parts of Mahabharatta. My goal is not to write the script, but to give suggestions. @Rob MacD: Sorry, I did not mean to assert that EVERYONE believed that Troy was that good of a movie. It was only an example to give the right emotion. @Red:

Thank you for posting it on your website, I appreciate it. Also, to those who think that this movie is not being made, you are wrong. If you check the news, wikipedia, hindustan times, and many other sites confirm it. Hi, I’m the guy who wrote that on IMDB. Thank you for posting it on your website, I appreciate it.

I don't know about jewelry, but the cast was phenomenal - though I'm afraid Mr. Bachchan went nowhere near this production.

Every few years this story crops up and in its most recent incarnation it was about Rathnam making one, or Raj Kumar Santoshi making one; the latter did announce his intention to make a Ramayana but financing has been a problem...

Though I question this assertion.
