Mahabharat movie

The grand epic, Mahabharat, has been adapted on the Indian small screen for three times now but this is the first time that Mahabharat-lovers will watch it on the big screen too. The high-budget animation of Mahabharat has been out with its first trailer for cine-goers and producer Jayantilal Gada has done the honour.

Popular Bollywood stars have lent their voices for this epic animated movie version. Megastar Amitabh Bachchan will be heard as Bhishma, Sunny Deol as Bheem, Vidya Balan as Draupadi, Manoj Bajpai as Yudhistir, Ajay Devgan as Arjun, Anil Kapoor as Karna, Jackie Shroff as Duryodhan and Anupam Kher as Shakuni – Gandhar’s evil prince. To give a more convincing look to the animated characters, the filmmakers have also given them the actors’ looks in the film. Some portrayals have also disturbed the viewers as Gada’s Draupadi is quite fat and frumpy, though the original Draupadi is known for her slim waist, dusky complexion and incomparable beauty. Similarly Pandavas’s characters with moustaches have also not been well-accepted by the viewers. Above all the Pandavas are not quite attractive and are also looking aged. Now the final destiny of this “most expensive” animated film will be left for the judgement by its viewers only.
