An animated _Mahabharat_? What’s the big deal, we’ve seen it before! But an animated Mahabharat featuring 15 of Bollywood’s A-listers, including Amitabh Bachchan and Sunny Deol... Now that’s


interesting! What’s more, these animated characters will even speak in the voices of these actors! The Rs 50-crore project that has been ‘developing’ for seven years in producer Jayantilal


Gada’s in-house studio is gearing up for a Diwali release. “No, we’re not going to clash with Hrithik Roshan’s _Krrish 3_, we’ll come a week before or later, but in the festive season,”


assures Gada. Mahabharat ended with Bheeshma’s death, but for Gada, that was the starting point. “Without Amitji’s support we could not have made this film,” he admits, confessing that when


he took the idea to the star, Big B shrugged him off saying, “Why do you want to turn me into a cartoon?” Undaunted, Gada made a two-hour dummy film. “Amitji was so excited by what he saw


that he agreed to begin dubbing the next day,” reminisces Gada. He then approached his ‘friend’ Sunny. “He was shooting, but took out a week to dub for my film,” says Gada.
