Saif Ali Khan, who is all set to play the role of Lankesh (Ravan) in Om Raut's film Adipurush, recently revealed that he would want to be cast in the epic Mahabharata if someone made it like The Lord of the Rings. The actor even revealed that he is been in talks with his Kachche Dhaage and Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior co-star Ajay Devgn for such a film. In a recent interview with the Bollywood Bubble, Saif said, "What I'd like to play is act in the Mahabharata if someone makes it like Lord of the Rings. We've been talking about it with Ajay Devgn since Kachche Dhaage. I think in our generation it's the dream subject. Everybody wants to do that. We will get the Bombay film industry together with the South or whatever if that's even possible and just make this grand movie."
