According to SIFY reports, There have been threats from some Hindu hardliners who do not want the film to be allowed to release with the title Mahabharata because this one is author M T Vasudevan Nair's version of the grand epic.

Producer B R Shetty and director Shreekumar Menon have stated that they have the blessings of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The production is anticipated to be part of the Make in India campaign as well.
