Chetan Hansraj, Aakashdeep Sehgal, Aamir Ali

Ekta Kapoor's Mahabharat is all set to unveil the biggest of actors of small screen donning the most talked about characters in the mythological magnum opus. If sources are to be believed, most of the loyal actors of Balaji Telefilms will be featured in the show.

A mythological as big as Mahabharat, is bound to be a big budget project and Ekta is not leaving any stone unturned to make it a mega-success. Ekta's Mahabharat will be competing with another mythological- Sagar Arts' Ramayan - on a rival channel. So, to give it the initial push, Ekta wants to rope in all her big and loyal actors. Here's the introductory blueprint of the larger-than-life epic.

Our source from the industry says, "The process of approaching actors is a well thought out one. Hiten Tejwani whose character Karan in Kyunki… is similar to that of Karn in the epic. Aman Verma is chosen to essay the role of Yudhishthir. Chetan Hansraj for his good physique, height and baritone voice will be playing Bheem.

Ram Kapoor, Sakshi Tanwar, Shabbir Ahluwalia

For Arjun's role, Ekta has approached Shabbir Ahluwalia, because of his growing popularity. While Ram Kapoor is approached to play Dhritarashtra, the blind king and father of the Kauravs, who would be better than Akashdeep Sehgal to portray the menacing Duryodhan! Naman Shaw will be essaying the role of Abhimanyu."

A well-placed source from the production house says, "Sakshi Tanwar, who's been portraying the iconic character of Parvati Bhabi, has been approached for the role of Kunti. Ekta's blue-eyed girl Anita will get into the robes of Draupadi. However, Gauri is also considered for the role of Draupadi. It is yet to be seen who wins the race."

If all goes well, all the actors of Balaji will be featured in Mahabharat. However, the hunt for the most important characters of Lord Krishna and Bhishm Pitamah, is still on.

Gauri Pradhan, Aman Verma, Anita Hassanandani

Gauri as Draupadi and Hiten as Karna 😃
GHT would do such great portrayals in them respectively.
Dunno about others but I for one believe Gauri would be brilliant as Draupadi. It'll be a huge challenge but I'm sure Gauri has the potential to do justice to it.

Though I know by now not to expect anything great from Ekta; I'm willing to bet Draupadi will be played by Anita cos she always changes things at the last minute.
Anyways fingers crossed that Gauri will play Draupadi.
