The Mahabharat, one of the longest epics in the world, is a sprawling narrative that weaves together the stories of the Pandavas and the Kauravas, two branches of the Kuru dynasty, as they engage in a cataclysmic battle for supremacy. The epic explores complex themes such as dharma (duty), karma (action), and moksha (liberation), raising profound questions about the human condition.
This decision sparked a major controversy. Doordarshan questioned how a Muslim man could write a sacred Hindu epic. Chopra famously stood his ground, stating, "It's a story of humanity, it's not about Hindu or Muslim. It's a story about people." He believed Raza's emotional and philosophical depth was perfect for the complex characters.
The series also featured a host of other talented actors who brought the epic's world to life, including Surendra Pal as Dronacharya, Girija Shankar as Dhritarashtra, Renuka Israni as Gandhari, and Nazneen as Kunti.
