Mahabharata is one of the greatest epics in Hindu mythology. And though read by most Indians, it was B.R. Chopra's rendition that brought all its characters to life. But maybe, it's time for a new Arjuna, Krishna and Draupadi? So here we are, suggesting a cast for a prospective Bollywood film.
1.BHEESHMA- Amitabh

The grand uncle of the Pandavas and the Kauravas, the wisest man, a great archer and warrior who defeated his own teacher. We suggest Amitabh Bachchan because of his flawless acting skills and the aura that he brings to every character he plays.

2. Dhritrashtra -Alok nath

The blind king of Hastinapur. The one torn between his morals and the love for his son. The helpless one. We think Alok Nath will nail this one.

3. Gandhari -Rakhee

The sacrificing wife who willingly put on a blindfold for life. The mother of a 100 sons and 1 daughter and the only one to curse Krishna. This one could be taken by Rakhee, the unbeatable mother.

4. Dronacharya -Irrfan

The greatest teacher of advanced military arts. The man with strong moral and social values. We recommend Irrfan for this character.

5. Yudhishtira- Shahid

The eldest of all the Pandavas. The man who could utter no lie and would never renege on his word, even if it meant losing his wife and kingdom. Shahid, maybe?

6. Arjuna - Ranbir

The third of the Pandava brothers. Lord Krishna's best friend and the one who originally won Draupadi. No one can be better at this than Ranbir.

7. Bhima - Salman

The one with all the strength. Moreover, he was the one who killed Dushasana, the guy who dragged Draupadi to court and tried to disrobe her. Salman Khan will be the most appropriate for this one.

8. Sahadeva and Nakula - Arjun kapoor and Ranveer

The twin brothers who never got enough light in the story. Arjun Kapoor and Ranveer Singh, together with all their randomness will be good for this one.

9. Kunti - Rekha

The mother of the five Pandavas and Karna. She returned to Hastinapur after the death of her husband to claim rights for her sons. She was highly valued by her sons and was a dominant mother. We nominate Rekha for this one.

10. Duryodhan - Ajay devgan

The eldest of the hundred sons of Kauravas. The one who lost out on a chance to be the heir of Hastinapur. He was revengeful and hated the Pandavas to the core. In short, the main villian. Ajav Devgn will pull this off with elan.

11. Karna - John abraham

The man of his words. The closest friend of Duryodhana who fought against the Pandavas on his behalf. The most generous of all the men in this tale. We propose John Abraham for this one.

12. Shakuni - Shakti kapoor

The evil maternal uncle of Duryodhan. The mastermind of the Kurukshetra war. He was a pro at game of dice. Not to forget, he was creepy at times. The only one that comes to our mind for this one is Shakti Kapoor.

13. Draupadi - Deepika

The one who was married to five men. The one who was given away in the game of dice by her husbands. The divine beauty and a dear friend to Krishna. We suggest Deepika for this one.

14. Lord Krishna - Aamir khan

Finally, the man who knew it all from the beginning. The god. The main political figure and best friend to Arjun. Most importantly, the one who recited the Bhagvad Gita in the arena of war. The strategist in Bollywood, none other than Aamir Khan. He'll be able to pull of the blue skin tone too.

15. Hidimba - Rakhi sawant

The one who fell madly in love with Bheem and got married to him. We vote Rakhi Sawant for this one.

16. Dhrishtadyumna - Sonu

Draupadi's brother and the commander of Pandavas during the Kurukshetra war. Most importantly, the one who killed Dronacharya. We recommend Sonu Sood for this one.

17. Shikhandi - Guthi

He was a sibling to Draupadi and Dhrishtadyumna and a eunuch. He was responsible for killing Bheeshma. Guthi could be quite appropriate for this one.

By the way, we have a narrator in mind too. And that is,

SACHIN..

What an awful, awful list. It should be more like:

Shantanu - ??
Ganga - Karishma Kapoor
Young Satyavati - Alia Bhatt
Old Satyavati - Kajol

Ved Vyas - Sanjay Dutt
Parshuram - Ajay Devgn

Young Bheesma - AB Jnr.
Senior Beeshma - AB Snr.

Krishna - Akshay Kumar
Karna - Hrithik Roshan

Drona - Anil Kapoor
Aswasthama - Arjun Kapoor

Dhritarashtra - ??
Gandhari - Madhuri Dixit
Pandu - John Abraham (Pandu dies at a relatively young age)
Kunti - Aishwarya Rai
Vidur - Irfan Khan

Yudhisthir - Aamir Khan
Bheema - Sunny Deol?
Arjun - Ranbir Kapoor
Nakul - Varun Dhawan
Sahadev - Shahid Kapoor

Draupadi - Kareena Kapoor
Shubhadra - Sonam Kapoor (Arjun's 2nd wife)
Vrushali - Shraddha Kapoor (Karna's wife)
Rukmini - Deepika Padukone (Krishna's wife)

Duryodhan - Salman Khan
Dushashan - Ranveer Singh
Shakuni - Nasseruddin Shah

Would be perfect. There are so many "perfect characters" in Mahabharata - it'd blow away any other series if made properly.

When you try to sum up these characters in one word, it'd be:

Shantanu - Dilemma
Ganga - Purity
Young Satyavati - Beauty
Old Satyavati - Regret

Ved Vyas - Reverence
Parshuram - Invincible

Young Bheesma - Devotion
Senior Beeshma - Service / Devotion / Peerless

Krishna - Charisma / Divinity / Playfulness
Karna - Selflessness / Indestructible / Unfortunate

Drona - Vengeance
Aswasthama - Delusion

Dhritarashtra - Blindness (both ways)
Gandhari - False Impressions
Pandu - Ill-fate
Kunti - Intelligence
Vidur - Wisdom

Yudhisthir - Dharma
Bheema - Recklessness
Arjun - Diligence / Mastery / Blessed
Nakul - Ego
Sahadev - Knowledge

Draupadi - Belongingness
Shubhadra - Love (Arjun's 2nd wife)
Vrushali - Unwavering Devotion (Karna's wife)
Rukmini - Bhakti (Krishna's wife)

Duryodhan - Rage
Dushashan - Misguided Devotion
Shakuni - Ingenuity

John Abraham as Karna!! Hell Nooo!!!
Wasn't Rajneeti sort of Mahabharat where, Ranbir was Arjun, Arjun Rampal was Yudhistar, Nana Patekar was Krishna, Ajay Devgan was Karna, Manoj Bajpayee was Duryodhan and so on.
SRK would make a better Krishna and Aamir as Yudhistar, and need some one else.
