About a month ago, Ekta Kapoor had nixed the talk that she was making a TV serial on the Mahabharat.
She insisted that she was afraid of competing with Star's version of the epic directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi.
But as it turns out, Kapoor will make Mahabharat for 9X.
A source from the channel informs us that the shoot has already started at Chandivli Studio.
However, the epic drama may not start airing till
mid-September.
Dwivedi's Mahabharataa will hit the tube in August.
When repeated phone calls evoked no response from Kapoor, we sent her a text message asking her to confirm the news and received a "smiley" in
reply..
Our source says that Hiten Tejwani has been roped in to play Arjun.
Tejwani admits that he is a part of Kapoor's Mahabharat but doesn't know the details yet.
Saakshi Tanwar has a role to play too. Tanwar says that she was approached in January but there has been no follow-up.
