The dream of making a movie on the popular book series ‘Immortals of Meluha’ by Amish Tripathi is taking some concrete shape with Karan Johar who has bought the copyright handing it over to Ayan Mukherjee to bring it to life on celluloid. Ayan on his part has signed good friend Ranbir Kapoor to play the role of a modern day Shiva.
