Mumbai, March 7 (Ians) The epics Ramayan and Mahabharat seem to be the latest favourites of our filmmakers. A host of new films have been launched, with plots that seem influenced by the epics. Not only Bollywood, South Indian film artistes also seem intrigued by the epics lately.
The fetish for Ramayan, particularly, has been seen in Bollywood in the past, too. Sooraj Barjatya's 1999 hit Hum Saath-Saath Hain and Karan Johar's Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001) are automatic recalls when you think of epic inspiration by way of theme in Bollywood.
These earlier films, though, primarily drew drama quotients from the epics. The upcoming roster promises to explore the stories with bigger production values, to say the least.
Here's a look at what's in store:
Ram Setu
Actor-producer Akshay Kumar has carved his space with patriotism and socially relevant commentary through mainstream films lately. With Abhishek Sharma's Ram Setu, he is falling back on mythology.

Reports say that the producers of the Prithviraj starrer Karnan have backed out from the film owing to budget issues.
The film’s producer Venu is reported to have said that he had to drop the film as the budget exceeded what he had in mind. It is said that the film’s budget was initially Rs. 60 crores.
Venu has now moved on to produce the Mammootty starrer Mamankam, which is a period flick based on the Mamankam festival celebrated in the 17th century.
