4) Deepika Padukone’s Mahabharat from Draupadi’s POV
Mahabharat will again be told on the big screen but this time from the perspective of one of the most powerful figures in the epic – Draupadi.
The diva Deepika Padukone will be essaying the titular role of Draupadi in the movie. She has teamed up with producer Madhu Mantena and will be co-producing the film too.
Talking about this fresh take on the mythological tale, the actress had commented – “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.”
The film is supposed to be a multi-part franchise.
