Bollywood is falling for mythology after so many years. During the Ninety’s, action and love stories were tremendously mainstream. Nonetheless, legendary projects such as Ram Setu, Brahmastra, Chanakya will be fronted by big celebrities in the next years.

Huge number of mythological films, including Ram Setu, Adipurush, Ramayana, Brahmastra, Chanakya, Mahaveer Karna, Sita: The Incarnation, and Draupadi, will also be launched in the forthcoming years, all starring famous names and sponsored by major production houses.
Taran Adarsh, an entertainment industry trade analyst, considers that having an A-list actor lead these projects is “a hopeful sign.” “If huge personalities are a part of the projects, they can take care of the financial aspect as well.” Likewise, if you make an excellent mythological film, a huge number of people will want to see it. If we take an example, “Jai Santoshi Maa (1975) had no celebrity cast and was a low-budget film, but it became a great hit.”
