If the industry grapevine is to be believed, a film is being planned on Homer's epic poem, the Odyssey, about Odysseus, the legendary hero in Greek mythology.

The duo plan to begin work on the project after their Shahid Kapoor-starrer Batti Gul Meter Chalu, which has just rolled. Prakash Jha's Raajneeti (2010) was a modern-day retelling of the Mahabharat. The makers plan to retell the classic Greek poem in a similar vein and set it in today's India. Three leading B-Town stars are said to be in consideration for the titular role.
