India's greatest epic story, 'The Mahabharta' has been made time and again. Be it films or television, the tale has garnered attention from all ends. And now, one of the biggest banners of Bollywood is all set to make it into a live-action film.

While the 3D version of the film was recently released, it is heard that Disney India is now going to produce the film which will be helmed by director Abhishek Kapoor and written by author-historian Ashok Banker.

"We intend to tell the story in a manner it deserves to be told on screen", said Siddharth Roy Kapur, Managing Director, Disney India. 

The film goes into pre-production post the completion of Abhishek's next venture - 'Fitoor'.
