Deepika Padukone has mythological drama Mahabharata in her kitty in which the actress will essay the role of Draupadi. During a recent interview, producer Madhu Mantena opened up about Mahabharata and revealed that the film with Deepika will begin after he is done with Ramayana. In October 2019, it was revealed that the film based on Mahabharata will be made from Draupadi's point of view.
During a recent interview with an entertainment website, producer Madhu Mantena confirmed the same and gave out more information about his other upcoming projects. Besides working with Deepika in the film based on Mahabharata, Madhu also has another mythological tale, Ramayana. Madhu informed that while Deepika's Draupadi is very much in the making, he's taking Ramayana first. “Deepika and I are making it (the film based on Mahabharata) together, but it’s going to be Ramayana first,” said Madhu Mantena.

“These things take time and we don’t want to be irresponsible in our approach. Deepika and I are trying to do the Mahabharata from Draupadi’s point of view because we want the people to understand who Draupadi is. There is a lot of research that’s going on (as we speak),” added Madhu.
Talking further about Deepika Padukone’s upcoming project, Madhu revealed why the actress decided to play Draupadi. “Deepika is not making this film because she is an actor, she is making it because she and I strongly feel that it’s a great story that is to be told from Draupadi’s point of view. We are working hard to put everything together. These projects do take time, and we all know that. These are not small responsibilities, we are looking to create a world which has not been seen before,” added the producer.
