Now it is learnt that Mahabharat is set to be made from Draupadi’s point of view, and Deepika Padukone will play the central character. She has teamed up with producer Madhu Mantena and will be producing the film as well.
“I’m absolutely thrilled and honoured to be essaying the role of Draupadi. I truly believe that it is the role of a lifetime. While the ‘Mahabharat’ is popularly known for its mythological tales and cultural influence, many of life’s lessons are also derived from the ‘Mahabharat’ but most often from its men. Telling it with this fresh and new perspective will not only be interesting but also very significant,” Deepika said.
It will be made in a series of parts with the first one slated to release in Diwali 2021.
