Vinod Chopra’s ambitious project Taalismaan, based on Devaki Nandan Khatri’s Chandrakanta has been shelved.

The film, which was to be directed by Ram Madhvani, was announced with much fanfare and was to go on floors this year.

In fact, a trailer of the film featuring Amitabh Bachchan in a battlefield, ready for war, was cut a year ago.
