"The Mahabharata. Hindu mythology's greatest epic might just become Bollywood's biggest ever cinematic venture. The magic of this powerful epic is currently being recreated by producer Bobby Bedi into a trilogy with a budget of Rs 300 crore."

"While Rani will play Draupadi, Shah Rukh and Aamir will play Karan and Arjun, but I can't reveal who's who. I hope to make a historic movie series in the manner of The Lord Of The Rings"

Relax!! This movie is bound never to happen. Trust me!! I Live and work in Bollywood.. I kno how the place works...and I dont think the WHOLE Mahabharata will make a sensible or complete movie. LOTR was three parts remember?? Sequels in Bolly'wd dont work. This place is formula bound to hell.

Dont loose heart..and DONT for God's sake stop working on it.

I'll Find out details abt the wife. But till then here's a researchers only fact - Karna was in love with Draupadi...and hated Arjun cuz of that...He never neglected his wife but secrectly longed for Panchali. But who didnt anyways...

Will mail you in detail as soon as I get the facts.

thanx. yeah i know...in fact karna's humiliation at draupadi's swayamvar is a focal point of my story...i feel it's more a sense of hurt pride than love actually..

btw, i read somewhere abt a kathakali version of mahabharata where it seems karna's wife despised him coz of his lower caste until on the last day of the battle she found out he was really a kshatriya...dont get it,was she of a higher caste?how?if not why despise?

The best way to build the most comprehensive story is going throo all the versions. Chk out the regional interparetations.Try reading "Panchyajanya" and other diff view mahabharata stories in Bengali if you can get a hand on them.
