Mahabharat finally rolls

Siddharth Kumar Tewary’s ambitious project, a mythological show on the Mahabharat, has been waiting to take off for more than three years.
But now, say sources associated with the show, the shoot has finally begun, with the two-week long first schedule happening in the outskirts of Jaisalmer.
Says the source, “The details of the show are being kept under wraps. The war sequence is being shot.There is also buzz that the show will be a daily. The show, which is expected to go on air mid-2013, has a mix of newcomers and known faces.” Apparently, telly actors Shaheer Sheikh of Navya fame and Deblina Chatterjee have been approached to play Arjun and Draupdi, respectively. Hope no one pulls the brakes this time!
