Hyderabad: A biopic on the veteran actress Savitri is on the cards. Tipped to be an epic drama, the upcoming film has been titled “Mahanati”. Filmmaker Nag Ashwin will direct the period drama in both Tamil and Telugu languages.
The director said, “The film has been titled Mahanati , and it’ll be a magnum opus period film set in the golden era. With massive set pieces, the film will be unlike anything we’ve explored in Indian cinema. I’ve just finished the script and should finalise the cast soon.”
“Her life is quite a story. We are in that moment in time where it’s been long enough that the legends have left us, that we will have to revisit them and understand why they are legends,” added Ashwin.
