Since the return of classic yesteryear hits on Doordarshan channel, Shaktiman and Mahabharat fame actor Mukesh Khanna has constantly remained in news for his views and interesting revelations.
Since
the
return
of
classic
yesteryear
hits
on
Doordarshan
channel,
Shaktiman
and
Mahabharat
fame
actor
Mukesh
Khanna
has
constantly
remained
in
news
for
his
views
and
interesting
revelations.
For
the
unversed,
on
previously
being
quizzed
about
his
vision
for
the
new
version
of
Shaktimaan,
the
actor
had
taken
a
jibe
at
producer
Ekta
Kapoor
and
said,
"The
new
version
of
Shaktimaan
cannot
be
the
way
Ekta
Kapoor
made
Mahabharata
(in
2008)
by
putting
a
tattoo
on
Draupadi's
shoulder.
She
had
said
that
she
was
making
Mahabharata
for
modern
people."
And
now,
in
his
latest
interview,
Mukesh
has
made
another
interesting
revelation
that
Ekta
had
offered
him
a
role
in
her
adaptation
-
Kahaani
Hamaaray
Mahaabhaarat
Ki.
Mukesh
shared,
"You
will
be
surprised
to
know
I
got
a
call
from
Ekta
Kapoor's
production
house
for
her
version
of
Mahabharat
when
she
was
making
it.
They
offered
me
to
play
the
role
of
Shantanu
(Bhishma
Pitamah's
father)
I
told
them
'Do
you
really
think
I
will
do
Shantanu
after
playing
Bhishma'?”
He
went
on
to
add,
“She
made
a
mockery
of
Mahabharat.
She
took
all
the
daily
soap
actors
and
tried
to
make
Mahabharat.
They
were
flaunting
tattoos
and
six-pack
abs.
If
you
want
to
make
Mahabharat
rise
about
it
and
don't
try
to
ape
it.
Ekta
must
be
very
angry
with
me
because
I
have
spoken
a
lot
about
the
kind
of
content
she
makes.
I
am
against
the
way
she
projects
women
in
her
daily
soaps."
The
Waaris
actor
finally
concluded
by
commenting
on
the
small
screen
czarina’s
casting
choice
and
process.
"Ekta
Kapoor
took
Ronit
Roy
to
play
Bhishma
Pitamah.
I
did
15
films
before
bagging
the
role
of
Bhishma
Pitamah.
I
had
given
a
proper
look
test
wearing
a
beard
and
a
mustache.
We
were
selected
on
the
basis
of
our
audition
and
they
were
elected
and
that's
why
they
did
not
look
like
the
characters.
She
completely
ruined
it,
satyanash
kar
diya
tha..." he
said.
