Finally Ekta has found her Krishna-Artic

Ekta Kapoor is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that her mythological, Kahaani Hamaaray Mahabharat Ki, has a perfect cast. To play the role of Lord Krishna, Ekta ordered that only those kids born on Janmashthami last year could apply.

Not only that, Ekta even ordered seven pundits from different parts of India to match the kundlis (horoscopes) of those kids with Lord Krishna's. The kundli of the child that matched the most with Lord Krishna's bagged the role.

The pundits have been put up in Mumbai and Ekta's company, Balaji Telefilms is bearing the cost of their lodging and boarding.
Says our well-placed source from the industry, "Of course, we have kept the looks of the baby also in mind. The child who has been selected for the role resembles the one-year-old Krishna. Krishna's janam din is going to be shown in a grand style."

When contacted, Ekta confirmed the story. She said, "Yes, it is true. I have assigned my staff to call for pundits who would have to look into the kundlis of all those who applied for baby Krishna's role. We received 150 entries and it was not an easy job."

But why match the kundlis? Ekta explained, "It was necessary that the kid's kundli matched Lord Krishna's. We are talking about God and we can't be anything but authentic. In fact, I am taking special care to see that the kid's attire and accessories like the mor pankh (peacock feather) and sudarshan chakra are also sent by pujaris from various temples of India."

So who is the lucky kid? Ekta revealed, "Well, his name is Krrish . He is from Mumbai. We selected him recently." All for being authentic, eh?
