Sameer to play Shantanu in Mahabharat

Sameer Dharmadhikari, who was last seen in the historical Jhansi Ki Rani playing Gangadhar Rao, has now been roped in a mythological serial Mahabharat. He will be seen playing the role of king Shantanu. Says Sameer, "The entire story of Mahabharatbegins with Shantanu and though I am doing a cameo it's a pivotal role." And yet, initially Sameer was not keen to do the role.

"After essaying a king for one-and-a-half-years I didn't want to do it again. But the producer (Siddharth Kumar Tewary) with whom I was to do another show said he wanted to begin the show with me and I got convinced," smiles Sameer who was impressed with the scale of the show. "It's being shot in Madhya Pradesh, Kashmir and Umargaon in Gujarat ' it's a treat for me," he quips.

agree with you, best to approach Sid's PH (Swastik Pictures)

Sameer is very choosy in what he does since MTPH days.
