"I never dreamt of this day, and happy as I am to be making 'Parva' into a film. I want to understand the mammoth responsibility that we have on our shoulders. It is not easy handling a subject like Parva, handling the vision of the author. Do you know a trip of self-exploration to our films? Parva is a film that will be made in 3 parts, but will also be making this film in two languages, Kannada and English. It is great to have our friend, Prakash Belawadi as co-writer for our project."

'Parva' will be based on S. L. Bhyrappa's Kannada-language novel of the same name.

It is a retelling of the Sanskrit epic Mahabharata told through the main characters' personal perspectives. (ANI)
