The grand epic that has seen countless versions over the years, has got its first ever animation makeover. This also marks the epic tale's first move towards the big cinema screen.
The high budget film reportedly comes with an enviable cast of actors - Amitabh Bachchan has lend his voice to Bhishma, while Sunny Deol does the same for Bheem, Draupadi owes her voice to Vidya Balan, and Yudhistir to Manoj Bajpai. Actor Ajay Devgan too has lend his voice to Arjun, Anil Kapoor voices Karna, Jackie Shroff voices Duryodhan and Anupam Kher will be heard playing Shakuni.
The other interesting bit about the film is the fact that the characters bear a strong resembalnce to the actors lending them their voices. This, of course, was a planned effort on the makers' side.
Considering this is Mahabharat we're talking about, it should come as no surprise that people are already unhappy. Why? Because reportredly Sita has been portrayed as a little on the plus side, and for generations who are only used to a slimmer version of the poster child for Indian brides, this bit has been hard to digest.
That aside, chew on this thought for a while. The film is reportedly the most expensive animated film made here.
