The makers have approached Arjun Sarja, Shivaraj Kumar, Vivek Oberoi and a few others. But none of them has accepted the offer.

Kurukshetra has Jayanan Vincent's cinematography, V Harikrishna's music, Johny Harsha's editing, Kiran Kumar's art work and King Solomon's action sequences.

The Kannada movie will be launched on August 6 at Dr Prabhakar Kore Convention Centre in Bengaluru at 6 pm in the presence of Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, HD Kumaraswamy, DK Shivakumar, KFCC President Sa Ra Govindu and many other big names from Sandalwood.

The movie, which is produced by Muniratna and directed by Naganna, is based on the Hindu epic Mahabharata and is narrated from the perspective of Duryodhana, the ruthless and greedy son of blind king Dhritarashtra and queen Gandhari.
