If RKC is based on Mahabharata then who is who?

I need wisdom and insight. If RKC is modern Mahabharata then who is who? I have some guesses but, am also confused. Who is Who?

1. Pujan - They cast Shakuni Mama...so, the obvious guess here would be Shakuni. But, does he have any actual claim to Lal Mahal's throne or Royal Steel? Has he sacrificed anything? Satrupa's comments to him suggest otherwise. So is he just a jackel who wants the fruits of another's labour? Shakuni in MB had a real grievance. I am missing that grievance here.

2. Anami - Is she Abhimanyu or Karna? Or a mix of the two? Since Vatsalya is the one supposedly dead - I am not sure she is Abhimanyu... but, she is the one that entered the chakravyu. Karna wanted what Arjun had - the kitaab of the world's best archer - but, Anami has no enmity with Vatsalya. She was, however, ditched by Satrupa at birth.

3. Baldev - Is he the Blind King who could not reign? His rage at Satrupa certainly blinds him and his father has definitely sidelined him.

4. Bade Miya and his Madam - are they Shantanu and Satyawati? Heirless monarchs lead astray by their own ambitions and past misdeeds? Vikram may now regret disinheriting Baldev, but can't do anything about it. Daadi likewise may have done wrong with Narottam and/or Satrupa?

5. Guruji - does he have weakness/secrets like Drona or is he just bound by salt ka karz like Kripa?

6. Narottam - is he the real Dhritarashtra of the story...the wronged heir? Or is he Shikhandi? Or a mix of the two?

7.Satrupa - She is appears to be the Kunti of the story no? But, maybe more powerful?

8. Adhiraj - where does he fit into all this? He clearly has his own agenda and connections to the family... is he like Drupada? The outsider motivated by revenge, but not completely malevolent?

9. Vatsalya - Is he Yudhistir or Abhimanyu? The heir apparent for whom all other heirs eventually die including Karna or the sacrificial child from whose honor his kin go berserk?

Anami is the Karna for sure. The sacrificial lamb, sacrificed to protect the other heir to the throne. And just like Karna, she may not be on the Pandava's side, but she is on the side where she believes the right belongs.

Interesting..

I feel narottam is duryodhan as he is rightful heir
And ANAMI is Karna pandava and Krishna
She will be with narottam till when she will think he is right
But when she will know that he is not right then she will become pandava that is on her mother side Karna was never able to come on pandava side as he was somewhere grateful to duryodhan but with anami this is not the case so there would be no diliemma and I think that time she will come to know that narottam tried to kill his brother or her brother is with him because I still somewhere feel that it is a story and they will make vatsalya entry somehow to create drama as that time will test satrupa truth that if she really loved vatsalya more than anami
But let's see how story progress
Because I feel if they will want to show anami marriage then there would be leap where this rishton Ka chkravyuh will end and another on will start with anami in chkravyuh of adhiraj family because right now there is no scope as anami is 17

So what does that make Sudha and Damo

Sudha is Amba and Damo is Vidur.

For Karna, I think Anami had lived a quite satisfying life. Born as a royal and raised by Brahmins. She has no idea what being low caste means. Karna lived a pathetic life. His mpther abandoned him to maintain her social status and she had simply disposed her son. He never got what he deserved unlike Anami who will rule one day.Anami was handed over to the Pandit to keep her safe and alive. Kunti never acknowledged Karna until he died. Satrupa and Kunti has similarities. Both were selfish to forget about their abandoned child until they needed them. Kunti approached Karna to save Arjun thereby revealing her identity for sometime like Satrupa got Anami because Vatsalya was dead.

I have said this before, this story is an adaptation of Ritesh Deshmuk's Lai bhari and as far as i know that was nowhere based on Mahabharat so i don't think this one is either. But i could be wrong and they may have tweaked things to make it one which i may come across later. But for now i don't see this as a modern adaptation of mahabharat.
