Mysore: ‘Parva’ one of the popular novels authored by city’s renowned writer Dr. S.L. Bhyrappa is all set to come alive on silver screen.

The movie, which will be shot in Telugu language, is said to be directed by Tollywood’s numero uno director Rajamouli.

Sources said that Rajamouli had expressed his desire to direct a movie based on the Kannada novel ‘Parva’ some time back. It is said, the book, which is also translated into English, was inspired by the great Hindu epic Mahabharatha. However, it is still not sure if Rajamouli had contacted writer Dr. Bhyrappa to seek his consent to do a film based on his novel.

Previously, Dr. Bhyrappa’s novel ‘Vamshavruksha’ was shot in Telugu by director Bapu with the title ‘Vamshavruksham’ which starred Anil Kapoor. Though, it is said that Kannada movie directors wanted to direct movies based on Bhyrappa’s novels nothing has come up so far.
