Mukesh Khanna talks about Mahabharat

Ahh this brings back memories ... in my opinion, it's not arrogance, it's somewhat truthful. Keep in mind that this was probably done sometime in the beginning of the show.

There are many parts where this MB stands out, but so far as the plot is concerned, it's usually overhyped with needless drama. The biggest change SP has done is include various other interpretations of the MB as well as some author's retellings into this serial. It makes things a bit on the odd side for those familiar with the epic, but it brings the necessary spark to keep most people interested (or so they think, personally I think our epic is fantastic just the way it is... like the Gita, one can read it a hundred times and probably still find something new and interesting in it)

I agree somewhat with what Mukeshji said about actors not needing to have six-packs. It should be more about the acting rather than the looks (but we live in an era where beauty is defined by how much makeup is slobbered over our faces, where beauty pageants are conducted even for small children, and where people get teased for not looking fit or good-looking). However, all the actors in the serial have shown dramatic improvements from when they first appeared.

All in all, everyone deserves a second chance. Sometimes the CVs fall through and give us what we want to see, and those times are the best.
