Ekavali Khanna excited about her new project

Ekavali Khanna is excited to be part of Raja: The Formless King, which is a reinterpretation of the

Mahabharata

along the journey of Draupadi’s inner self from

Kurukshetra

to Mahaprasthan. “I will play Yuvati, which is the inner conscience of

Draupadi

that is abstract. This is something I have never done before, though I have played varied roles till date. Through Raja: The Formless King, we will celebrate love, life, power and revolt against the universal pain women have been facing for ages So, I am looking forward to it,” said the actress.

She added, “It is the dream project of Kalamandalam Goutam, who passed away a few months ago. Kalamandam Goutam was looking for a woman with a quintessentially Indian face, long hair, calm voice and was keen that I should play the part of Yuvati. I consider it a huge privilege and an opportunity to reinvent myself. Dance forms that have been incorporated are

Kathakali

, Kaikutikali and others in this project.”
