TOI : People think after Shiva, I'm an ideal Karna
Mohit Raina seems to have become the first choice to play Lord Shiva on the tube. The actor, who is already essaying Shiva in mythological show Devon Ke Dev Mahadev, produced byNikhil Sinha, will be seen repeating the act in Siddharth Kumar Tewary's Mahabharat.
Says Mohit, "It feels good to be a part ofMahabharat. I was an avid follower of the original series. So, it was a great opportunity to become part of the ongoing edition. I shot for a few hours and it was a great experience. I wish them all the best."
However, if the actor had his way, he would have preferred to play Karna in the show. Says he, "I would like to play Karna because, the complexities of this character intrigues me. He is commonly perceived as the anti-hero yet he did everything like the real hero of a story. From being a suta putra to becoming the king of Angad and the realisation of his lineage -- that he is the eldest Pandava -- he bore all his curses with elan and roared like a lion on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. If it wasn't for the politics and manipulation, he would have remained unbeatable. Hence, it would have been a real challenge to get to play him. Also, some people think after Shiva, I'm an ideal Karna."
