Disney+Hotstar to showcase new look ‘Mahabharata’

New Delhi, 02-June-2023, By IBW Team

Disney+Hotstar to stream ‘World’s Best’ June 23

‘Mahabharata’, which a generation of Indians grew up seeing on Doordarshan, will be back with a contemporary look and on a global platform — the streamer Disney+Hotstar.

It was among the three Indian titles that were revealed at the global Disney fan event D23 Expo in Los Angeles last week, an IANS news dispatch stated quoting a ‘Variety’ report.

‘Mahabharata’ is being produced by Madhu Mantena, Ram Gopal Verma’s nephew and Anurag Kashyap’s former associate, Mythoversestudios and Allu Entertainment.

The other announcements made by Disney in Los Angeles included the return of Karan Johar’s celebrity chat show ‘Koffee With Karan’ for season 8, after a hugely successful ongoing season 7. It is produced by Johar, Apoorva Mehta and Anisha Baig for Dharmatic Entertainment Production.

Johar, Mehta and Somen Mishra are also producing Bollywood-set drama series ‘Showtime’, which, according to the Dharmatic boss, “will lift the curtain on India’s entertainment industry’s biggest trade secrets”.

According to IANS, ‘Variety’ quoted Mantena as saying: “For centuries Indian epics have captured the imagination of billions around the world. These epics are deeply woven into the very fabric of our nation. The ‘Mahabharata’ — one of the oldest epics in India, despite being as old as time, is still relevant today for the many lessons and words of wisdom hidden within its ancient verses.”

Disney+ Hotstar India’s Head of Content Gaurav Banerjee said: “Over the last several years, India has emerged as a content powerhouse, pushing the envelope with stories that transcend language and cultural boundaries.”
