Neeraj Pandey had narrated his germ of the idea of a film on Chanakya to Ajay Devgn a few months ago. Ajay had a few queries and asked Neeraj to come back with more details, but what the Special 26 director did was beyond Ajay’s comprehension.
“Neeraj realised that Ajay does not really understand his style of working. So to make Ajay comfortable, Neeraj went off to the drawing board and came back with an entire script so that Ajay could be convinced. And when Ajay heard it, he was blown away because Neeraj narrated the script to him with every detail in place and Ajay had no queries after that. We will hear of an announcement soon once they put the logistics of the film on paper including profit share, satellite rights, etc.” says a movie business insider.
While there was a buzz that the film could be a biopic on Chanakya, we are now told that it is not. “It is more of a modern-day narrative of Chanakya with a lot of political overtones,” says our source.
