Prabhas has been receiving a lot of flak for his portrayal as Lord Ram in Adipurush. The Om Raut film tried to attempt Ramayana in a modernised form and got brutally attacked and outright rejected for the same. But we wonder if this would affect the actor and his upcoming film Project K’s storyline which is said to be loosely inspired by Mahabharata.

Earlier, it was reported that the film starring the Baahubali actor, Deepika Padukone and Amitabh Bachchan, helmed by Nag Ashwin, is a modernised and adapted version of Mahabharata where Big B plays Ashwatthama and Prabhas plays a version of Karna! The backdrop for the film would be World War 3!

The science fiction film was also reported to be based on the tenth Avatar of Vishnu, which is said to take place in Kalyug according to the mythological stories. The premise definitely seems interesting, but owing to the Adipurush backlash, where Prabhas played Ram, his playing a modern avatar of Karna, sounds like a brave step at this hour.
