Ladies, relax, don't worry so much! Take a deep breath!
We will be getting to see the story of the Mahakaaleshwar Jyotriling (the one in Ujjain), and that is where another name for Mahadev, Mahakaal, comes from. Mohit may not actually have to be in a different costume/character at all for the Mahakaal avtaar - it is likely that this will be done with him in the usual Mahadev costume/character, or perhaps with a few little variances (like we saw recently with the Nataraj sequence). Whatever the case, it will probably be quite quick.
I don't think the CVs would be foolish enough to load him up with another completely different character at this point, especially when he already has 3 on the go (just like you, I am counting Swami Adiyogi and Mahadev as separate characters). They would be mightily stupid to overwork him to the point of super-exhaustion/illness - if he gets sick then the show will be stuffed until he recovers! (they could try using body doubles etc or focussing on less Mahadev-intensive tracks, but this won't work for very long!) And they should continue to cut him some slack as he is keeping all the different storylines going almost singlehandedly (as they have been doing recently by using body doubles whenever they could afford to).
Mr Raina is an intelligent and resilient man - if he is getting way too tired or not enjoying a particular role/track then I'm sure that he would speak up and let them know. āļø And he certainly seems to be a reasonable person, so they should accommodate any such requests from him as well as they can (like when they let him have several days off to get into Jalandhar's character, and when he requested that they shoot scenes for either Jalandhar or Mahadev on any day but not both of them on the same day.)
He will be fine, and so will all you lovely super-concerned ladies! š
(Seriously, the outpouring of concern for MR is really sweet! I am concerned for his well-being also, in case it doesn't appear that way! š I'm just not having a panic attack yet. š)
