A special puja was held at Thiruvananthapuram’s Padmanabhaswamy Temple for RS Vimal’s Mahavir Karna starring Vikram. The puja was for a holy bell which will be attached to a massive, 30-feet high chariot being built for the film. Actors Suresh Gopi and Indrans, and filmmaker B Unnikrishnan were present with the Ennu Ninte Moideen director to receive the bell.

As per reports, filming of the multilingual epic will start in January with a plan to release it in 2020. RS Vimal told the media that the rest of the details are being kept under wraps. “We’ll be revealing the official details in due time through an event. We are planning to cast some prominent actors from Bollywood. A popular Hollywood actor will be playing a key character as well,” he said.
