Deepika's
Second
Production
This
will
be
Deepika
Padukone's
second
production
after
‘Chhapaak',
a
film
based
on
the
life
of
acid
attack
survivor
Laxmi
Agarwal.
Mahabharat
will
be
released
in
parts
and
the
first
one
is
slated
to
release
for
Diwali
2021.
What
Does
Deepika
Say
About
Playing
Draupadi?
"I'm
absolutely
thrilled
and
honored
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
was
quoted
as
saying
by
IANS.
Madhu
Mantena's
Take
Talking
about
the
film,
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
on
such
an
ambitious
scale."
Deepika's
83
Meanwhile,
Deepika
will
be
next
seen
in
‘83',
along
with
her
actor-husband
Ranveer
Singh,
which
is
based
on
the
iconic
victory
of
the
Indian
cricket
team
during
the
1983
world
cup.
While
Ranveer
plays
the
role
of
Kapil
Dev,
who
lead
the
Indian
cricket
team
to
a
famous
victory
against
the
West
Indies,
Deepika
plays
the
role
of
his
wife,
Romi
Dev.
