Mahavatar Narsimha director Ashwin Kumar: Want to see Hrithik Roshan ias Nataraja
Filmmaker Ashwin Kumar, who is gearing up for the release of his mythological epic 'Mahavatar Narsimha', is already deep into planning his next films. In an exclusive chat with India Today, the director spoke about his upcoming mythological projects and shared his vision of seeing Hrithik Roshan portray a divine role on 'Mahavatar Narasimha' marks his directorial debut, Ashwin revealed that two more ambitious mythological films are already in development. Shedding light on what's next, he shared, 'I will be bringing out 'Ajamila', it's another epic from the Puranas, but it will be live action. 'Mahavatar Narsimha' is a soft way to awaken the soul; that one (Ajamila) is a very hard way to awaken the soul. We will be doing that.'advertisementHe further added, 'I will tell more about it later, and we will also be doing a film on Ardhnarishwar, which is half Shiva, half Shakti - but this one will be set in a more real-world, modern-day scenario. So it will have a fantasy element too. These are both live-action films.' When asked if any actors were in talks for these upcoming projects, Ashwin clarified that casting will be dictated by the screenplay. 'Not yet. I am scripting it right now, but soon. I have some things in my mind about it. The writing tells you what actor is suited to it. I don't usually write with an actor suited for the role. I have to be true to the story, I have to be true to the screenplay, and the character. So, the character sculpts the actor, that's how I feel it,' he continued, 'And then my direction would help the character understand the story and screenplay, and then it meshes into this proper harmony.'On the topic of actors he'd like to collaborate with, Ashwin didn't hesitate. 'Hrithik Roshan!' he said instantly, going on to describe why the superstar would be a perfect fit for a mythological fantasy film. 'Hrithik is a demigod personified, when you look at his structure and his good moves as a dancer. So, I think him playing some sort of fantastical character, apart from the films that he does, is a part of his career. I would want to see him in that kind of a fantastic role.'And the role Ashwin envisions for Hrithik? 'Probably Nataraja, a dancer. A dancer who would create or destroy cosmically,' he has been much speculation about Hrithik being the initial choice to play Ravan in Nitesh Tiwari's 'Ramayana'. When asked if he believes Hrithik would have been the right fit, Ashwin offered a clear perspective. 'No, I think Yash is wonderful as Ravan, he has the look.''Mahavatar Narsimha' is all set to release on July 25.- EndsMust Watch

All hopes on Ramayana now: Mahavatar Narsimha director Ashwin Kumar
'Mahavatar Narsimha' director Ashwin Kumar opened up about the evolving landscape of mythological cinema in India, the lessons learnt from 'Adipurush' failure, and why he believes Bharat's timeless stories are more relevant than an exclusive chat with India Today, the director reflected on Om Raut's 'Adipurush' which didn't quite land with audiences. Ashwin said, 'It was an attempt that went wrong, that's all I'll say.' When asked why, he explained, 'Because there's a lot of science to it, there's a lot of math to it that's already out there, so, no comments. But I understand what they were trying to do.'advertisementStill, he believes it is a necessary step. 'We learn our lessons. I believe it was good learning for the industry, the people, even the makers. The good part is, the people of this land keep giving us a chance to tell the same story time and again, because these are eternal stories,' he added. 'So of course, if that one didn't work - if told properly, I think it can do wonders. That's all hopes on 'Ramayana' now.' Ashwin also weighed in on the much-anticipated 'Ramayana' duology reportedly being made on a massive Rs. 4,000 crore budget. 'It's fantastic. I liked the teaser as well. I really pray and hope they do a brilliant turnaround industry event with that scale, that huge a budget,' he was also quick to stress that money alone doesn't guarantee impact. 'Budget plays a huge role in it. But at the same time, I think what is more important than just a budget is the feeling the film carries. It's a piece of art at the end of the day. And how you depict art is what the impressionist of the artist has gone into.'He continued, 'That is what I feel this Mahavatar Cinematic Universe is trying to bring to the people of the world - a cinematic, spiritual and transcending experience. That is the idea of the Mahavatar Universe.'For Ashwin, the success of films like 'Baahubali', 'RRR', and 'Kantara' proves the hunger for culturally rooted narratives. 'There's a vacuum for this kind of flavour, because this is Bharat Bhoomi. It has its own tales, embedded in our DNA, which unfortunately haven't been on the big screen for quite some time,' he said.'And when it surges, even in any little way, it just blows up. Because we have a vacuum that's waiting to be filled. These stories coming back on screen show the kind of demand that exists. This is an attempt to fulfill that demand," he passionately advocates for reclaiming Indian stories through a new cinematic lens. 'It's new-age cinema in the hands of new-age people from the land of Bharat created by Bharatiyas for the stories of Bharat, for the people of Bharat,' he said.'We may be constrained in budgets, but we have an open source, the DNA of this land, which has a resounding effect around the world, with the biggest companies being led by CEOs from India. That is no coincidence. We just need to imbibe that into our own industries. I think that's what we're trying to do.'- EndsMust Watch
