New One Enters the race of God Of War
God of War project has always been seen as one of the most promising and ambitious mythological ventures in recent times. Envisioned as a large-scale pan-India spectacle, the project has consistently generated buzz, especially with top stars like Allu Arjun and Jr NTR being considered frontrunners to headline it. With Trivikram at the helm, the film was widely regarded as a potential game-changer, both creatively and commercially, capable of redefining the modern mythological genre.
Amid this backdrop, actor Jiiva’s recent revelation has stirred fresh debate. In a recent interview, Jiiva confirmed that he is working on a film based on the stories of Lord Murugan, calling it one of the biggest projects currently taking shape in Tamil cinema. Given that Lord Murugan is the prime deity for Tamil people, the film naturally carries deep cultural, spiritual, and emotional resonance, instantly elevating expectations around the project.
Adding another layer to this conversation, filmmaker Kishore Tirumala had earlier spoken about his own mythological concept rooted in the same deity. Titled Gowri Tanayana, the project is based on the life and legends of Lord Murugan. Kishore Tirumala had described it as a story-driven film with strong emotional depth, underlining that such subjects demand sensitivity, conviction, and a clear narrative vision rather than just scale.
With multiple industries exploring narratives around Lord Murugan, concerns are emerging around timing and originality. If Jiiva’s film, or any similar project, reaches audiences before Telugu cinema’s God of War, it could significantly impact the latter’s perceived novelty. For Trivikram, God of War has long been seen as his most cherished pan-India dream, and an earlier release of a comparable mythological subject could blunt its edge.
As things stand, the race is no longer just about scale or star power, but about who brings this powerful mythology to the screen first, and how distinctly they tell the story. The coming months could prove crucial in determining the fate and future positioning of Telugu cinema’s most ambitious mythological dream.
