Ekta Kapoor’s much talkedabout show, Kahaani Hamaaray Mahabhaarat Ki, will go on air, earlier than the scheduled date. So now viewers can tune in to the epic from July 7 onwards, instead of the earlier schedule of August 15. The show is slated to be a daily and will be aired on prime time from Monday to Thursday.
This change of schedule has taken place because Balaji Telefilms are way ahead of their deadline and have already built up a huge bank of episodes.
Although Ekta Kapoor remained unavailable for comment, a spokesperson of the channel says, “Yes, we had earlier announced the date of the telecast as August 15, to buy time as it is a big and ambitious show. Also, we wanted to ensure that we have a proper bank of episodes before we begin telecasting. Now that we have built up a bank of episodes, we are ready to go on air from July 7.”
The spokesperson also confirms the telecast days. She adds, “The show will now be aired from Monday to Thursday and not twice a week as we had scheduled earlier.”
Kahaani Hamaaray Mahabhaarat Ki stars the biggest names in television like Ronit Roy, Hiten Tejwani, Saakshi Tanwar, Aryan Vaid, Chetan Hansraj, Anita Hassanandani and Makrand Deshpande, among others. It is shot on a truly epic scale with spectacular sets and locations such as Ladakh, Jaipur and Wai. ON THE WARPATH Subhash K Jha
In BR Chopra’s Mahabharat, actor Mukesh Khanna played Bhishma Pitamah, who had an integral role in way the epic played out. However it seems that Mukesh Khanna has predicted Ekta Kapoor’s Kahaani Hamaaray Mahabharat Ki to be disastrous, even before its telecast. “How can he be so sure of what we’ve made when he hasn’t even seen a single frame?” Ekta retorts.
She adds, “I have the greatest regard for Mr BR Chopra and Ravi Chopra’s Mahabharat, of which Mukesh Khanna was a part. Mahabharat is a mythological, not a historical. It is open to so many interpretations.”
Khanna has also hinted that a new version of Mahabharat would be a flop as the remake of Sholay w as. Laughing the matter off, Ekta says, “Sholay was a product of Ramesh Sippy’s imagination, whereas Mahabharat is a legacy and a part of our culture, passed down from generations. It belongs to me as much as it is anyone else’s. The only person who can challenge my right to interpret Mahabharat is Ved Vyas, the man who wrote the epic. Luckily, he isn’t around!”
