“ The channel should be able to comment on the numbers. When the producer was asked about the 100 crore budget, he had this to say, Apart from that, the team has also used extensive 3D conversion to enable the serial with cutting edge effects.

Some of the scenes were also shot in exotic locations like Kashmir, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Jaisalmer, Bedaghat, Nepal and Sri Lanka. The lavish set designed by Omung Kumar is sprawlingly spread across 10 acres in Umargaon. With more than 400 people involved in the production, this 100 crore mega serial outshines the mega 40 crore budget movie Jodha Akbar by Ashutosh Gowariker. The outdoor shoots have mainly adhered to such a huge budget for the producer Siddharth Kumar Tewary, who worked for 4 years before launching his dream project. P.S.: Star Plus did not pay me for this post.This daily shop which is aired on Star Plus is a 6-month project featuring lavish VFX, larger than life sets and outlandish costumes. So leaving with a few promos of the new Mahabharat.

It’s time for my late-night archery practice. With so much going around in our country, a Mahabharat was required anyway! So men, women, kids, devas, asuras, yakshas, gandharvas, rakshasas and all those who are reading this, please tune in to Star Plus on 16th September at 8:30 p.m. Let’s keep fingers crossed for the aptness of casting and script. Special effects look larger than life and the creative consultant is none other than Dr. But I hope this one breaks through as the biggest T.V. Sanjay Khan and Ekta Kapoor have tried in their own ways to play with this epic but the epic played with them instead. Invariably, both the wishes have been fulfilled! Of course, comparisons will be made, and challenges will be monumental for the newer Mahabharat as well as its actors. Chopra’s legendary production and the charisma of Nitish’s smile. The new Mahabharat is going to start from 16th September and along with many other things, this can resurrect my relation with the idiot box. Reason: Idiot box won’t be idiot anymore.Īround a year back or so, while watching Devon ke Dev Mahadev, I had hoped to see a new Mahabharat, with nicer special effects and Saurabh Jain as Krishna, as it had been years since B.R. Had Star Plus been a woman, I would have married her.

Sincere thanks to Star Plus for understanding my limitations and fulfilling my dream.
