Deepika Padukone to Bring Alive Mahabharat's
Draupadi on Big Screen
Draupadi on Big Screen
Deepika turned producer with
"Chhapaak", a film inspired by the life of acid attack survivor,
Laxmi Agarwal. Her second production, "Mahabharat", will be seen
through the eyes of Draupadi which will give a fresh take on the mythological
tale.
"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.
Mantena said: "While we have all
consumed the 'Mahabharat' all our lives, the uniqueness of our film is seeing
the same story from the point of view of Draupadi, who is one of the most
significant heroines in our country's cultural history.
"And Deepika is not just the
biggest Indian actress today, but someone who can take this narrative across
borders. If it weren't with her, we would not be making this film
