Actor Deepika Padukone has revealed that her next project after Chhapaak and \u201883 will be a new retelling of epic Mahabharata, from the perspective of Draupadi. She will collaborate with producer Madhu Mantena on the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deepika told mid-day that she is excited to bring the grand epic to life on the big screen with a new perspective. \u201cWe all know the Mahabharat for its mythological tales and socio-cultural influence. We derive many of life\u2019s lessons from the epic. But the narrative we are most familiar with is that of the epic\u2019s leading men. This new perspective will be not only interesting but also significant,\u201d she said. The film will be a multi-part franchise and the first part will release on Diwali 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier, there were talks that Aamir Khan is developing a web series on Mahabharata. Shah Rukh Khan had let it slip in an interview that Aamir is playing the role of Krishna. On being asked about what kind of role he would like to play, Shah Rukh replied \u2018Krishna from Mahabharata\u2019 but went on to add \u201cKrishna from Mahabharata has already been taken by Aamir so I will not be able to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deepika will soon be seen in Meghna Gulzar\u2019s Chhapaak which releases in January. She plays an acid attack survivor in the film, based on the journey of real-life survivor, Laxmi Aggarwal. Actor Vikrant Massey also stars in the film.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
