Its not that way Paramashivan. EPIC genre has many sub-categories. Firstly, EPIC genre concentrates more on extravaganza than accuracy. Only its sub-genres differentiate it. Fantasy & Epic genres go hand in hand, only that the latter includes historical dates or names just to resgister a detail with the audience. A look at the sub-genres will clear the doubt for you :
EPIC Biopics : Kamaraj - This contains accuracy
EPIC Historical : Kochadaiiyaan - It only picks up certain aspects of the said time period notably a dynasty or its people or its issues. It can also mingle it with an imaginary tale.
EPIC WAR - Veerapandiya Kattabomman - Cares for a bit of accuracy with dates & names, but the events are produced at a gradeur level to enhance it as a viewer's spectacle.
EPIC Religious - Avvaiyar (my favorite film) : The name says it all. It mainly depends on a beleif and stirs it up with saints & legends who wandered the world.
Kochadaiiyaan is more inclined towards Fantasy, an imaginary story telling, where accuracy is not an ingredient.
