Mahabharat at balaji...

Don't get ideas, we are talking about Ekta Kapoor's new project for TV, the Mahabharat
Posted On Tuesday, January 29, 2008

Ekta Kapoor

Ekta Kapoor is all set to hark back to the mother of all drama. She has decided to film the Mahabharat. And she's obviously planning to do it on a magnum scale. The show is expected to star all the top actors of the Balaji stable. It will go on the floors in the last week of February or the first week of March and will be aired mid-2008, on one of the recently-launched TV channels.

Even Ekta Kapoor has a first, after all these years in the TV industry. This will be her first attempt at mythology.

Our well-placed source says, "Ekta is filming the Mahabharat. And, knowing her, she will not leave any stone unturned to make it one of the biggest shows of our time. The preparations for the shoot are already underway and Ekta has already started speaking to all the major actors in Balaji. It will be a daily and will have a huge budget."

Our source has some of the names of the stars too. "Some of the actors who Ekta has already spoken to include Chetan Hansraj, Naman Shaw, Ronit Roy, Shabbir Aluwalia, Aamir Ali, Jay Bhanushali, Karan Patel, Ram Kapoor and Hiten Tejwani. She has also spoken to Gauri Pradhan and Saakshi Tanwar. However it is yet unclear who will play the five Pandavas and the important characters among the Kauravas. The character of Krishna will be finalised soon," says the source.

When contacted, Ekta Kapoor refused to comment on her grand plan.

Incidentally Dr. Chandraprakash Dwivedi is also making the Mahabharata, which will also go on air at around the same time. There are also reports of the Ramayan being remade by the Sagars.

Hey RK

Thanks......Now just what is this... 😆 😆 ...Same stories dikha ke thak gayi kya. She must have been really inspired by the chanting she shows in all her shows 😆 😆 ....Anyways, if he must (coz not many of the above can refuse Ektaji 😆 😆 ) can Karnoo play Arjun, or Karn. 😳

As far as Duryodhan is concerned, why look further when you have Chetan around....Excellent.
Now just who is gonna play the charismatic Draupadi 😳 ....

Good choice of characters JW! 😆 But what will she do when the TRPs fail...😆.... Will she change Duryodhana into a positive character!! She sure has lot of background scores ready which she uses for Pratishodh thing!

@Pragzs: Hope she sticks to the original script this time! 😆

RK,

Imagine, Duryodhan and Dushaasana, saying "hamne Draupadi vastraharan ka plan badal diya hai. Producer ne paise nahi bheje hain, Mera seedha saadha image in Kyunki will get destroyed. And waise bhi woh hamari Parvati ya Nandini bhabhi hai"😆...and imagine Yudhishtir saying..."Nahiiiiii, vastraharan karo, script mein hai, mera to rajya bhi chala gaya, kam se kam woh to dedo script alter karke, maine vanvaas ke liye stubble bhi maintain kiya hai😆"....And Draupadi saying "Haila mera yards and yards of sari pehneka ka mauka nahi jaana chahiye"😆

As for the chant, how is "Lenge Pratishodh Pandav Lenge Pratishod"

That would be hilarious!!!🤣🤣🤣

Yudhishtir saying..."Nahiiiiii, vastraharan karo, script mein hai, mera to rajya bhi chala gaya, kam se kam woh to dedo script alter karke, maine vanvaas ke liye stubble bhi maintain kiya hai😆"..

I forgot that a stubble is a must for vanvaas!🤣

..And Draupadi saying "Haila mera yards and yards of sari pehneka ka mauka nahi jaana chahiye"😆

It will sure be disappointing for Draupadi if this scene is cut...she will never get this chance again!🤣🤣

As for the chant, how is "Lenge Pratishodh Pandav Lenge Pratishod"

And imagine all those pratishod scores in the background!🤣

But how come she has broken the rules of balaji telefilms...all her shows are supposed to start with 'K' right? It would be funny to watch Ronit, Cezzane, Hiten, Shabbir, KP as Pandavas!🤣
