I'd like to try Hollywood:

Yudishthir: Viggo Mortensen - nobody doubt how good he was as a noble King/ Warrior
Bheem: The Rock - have you seen his latest pic on chariot as Hercules? Perfect!
Arjun: Henry Cavill - he looks quite dark in complexion in "IMMORTALS" & muscular also, perfect for Arjun
Nakul: Orlando Bloom - most handsome warrior, I like his appearance in Kingdom of Heaven..
Sahdev: Luke Evans - perfect twin for Bloom while still below him in handsomeness

Karna: Brad Pitt - i like him as Achilles with a special golden armour, muscular and looks a bit older yet handsome
Bheeshma: Liam Neeson..specialist in senior/mentoring character like master jedi qui gon jinn, zeus, even raas al ghul in the dark knight.. Tall and perfect as the greatest warrior of that time
Parshuram: Mickey Rourke
Shakuni: Tom Hiddleston
Duryodhan: Jason Momoa, 190cm in height, slightly shorter than Bheem but more agile as the best mace fighter!

Updating my cast from 1st page..Will update again later if I got more inspiration:)

For Draupadi I Prefer Anushka Shetty,Priyanka Chopra ,Deepika Padukone N Vidya Balan .These 4 Ladies Can Portray Draupadi Perfectly According To Me.

From TV Only One Actress Come In To My Mind To Play Draupadi That Is Mouni Roy .

Bheeshma: Amitabh Bachchan
- Tall, dark, handsome and has a deep baritone. To get into Bheeshma's character one needs to portray his inner pain with deep intensity and eyes must do all the talking at times. He can carry out everything with perfection and hence he's an ideal choice for Bheeshma.
Nobody else is in my mind!
It's almost impossible to imagine someone else...as Mukesh Khanna was the one who had played Bheeshma.

For B'wood I Also Prefer Amitabh Bachan N For TV Mukesh Khanna .

First of all, pure Hindi language is required to play any character from this Epic and I don't think any Hollywood actor/actress can speak Hindi well so, I am picking up the Bollywood actors...

1. KARNA - well, this is the most fascinating, complex and Anti-Tragic-Heroic character and except Shahrukh Khan, no one else can play it better..Reason why I chose SRK is firstly because Karna is his most favourite and dream character... secondly, I remember reading one interview of SRK where he said that he is bored of playing Heroic roles and that now he is eager to do Anti-hero roles... I remember him playing an Anti-Hero to perfection in Don and Baazigar film..he looks much better in Anti-hero roles...also, I have seen one of his historical film ASOKA..though that movie was not a hit but SRK made a mark as Emperor Ashoka..whenever I think of King Ashoka, I always remember SRK...his height is also not that bad..he looks quite tall in films..he has a heavy and fierce voice..plus he is perfect in delivering dialogues and emotions.. Also, he looks very handsome in Long hairs which is most required. I can't think of any other Bollywood actor other than SRK to play Karna.

2. BHISHMA - undoubtedly, it has to be Amitabh Bachchan..he is just Perfect to play this character!

3. KRISHNA - can't think of any other Bollywood actor other than Aamir Khan. He looks forever young like Krishna and also, he is very knowledgeable.

4. Bheem - only Salman Khan can suit this character.. He is perfect and has good muscular body.

5. Duryodhan - my choice to play this character to the T is Ajay Devgn.

6. Nakul - only Ranbir Kapoor can play Nakul well..he is good looking.

7. Sahdev - Imraan Khan will be the best choice.

8. Draupadi - first choice is Priyanka Chopra..she is fit to play any character.. Second choice is Deepika Padukone.

9. ARJUNA - only Hrithik Roshan has the face, physique and good attitude to play this important character.

I agree with your choice of actors for Karna,Arjun,Draupadi N Krishna for B'wood .

👏 Great choice.

Madd was pretty impressive in casino royale. He has that shrewdness required to play shakuni or krishna.

So is your id inspired by him ? Could not watch the show, found it disturbing.

Hahaha interesting that Krishna & Shakuni could be played by the same actor! But they have different physical appearance & age..
We need a more latino actor with more tanned skin for Krishna..

By the way I tried to get Henry Cavill in Arjun's costume..
