Modern Mahabharatha

I had promised myself to keep udating my blog regularly and to write whatever comes to my mind randomly so that i can keep up the writing habit and also improve it. But from the looks of it and my laziness, its just not coming up to the mark i wanted it to be!

Nothing to do yesteday, was lazing around after comign back from work when my friend came over. Thats when we got into the topic of abhimanyu( dont remember how!) , the guy who learnt to get into the chakravyuh while he was a baby in his moms womb but did not learn how to get out of it because his mom slept of while his dad was about to explain the same!! For those of you who dont know wht is a chakravuyh , its an ancient war method(mentioned in mahabharata) , a spiral battle formation by the enemies against their opponents which i guess is hard to break into!!not going into more deatils of it because I dont know much in depth about it but as the story goes, since abhimanyu did not know how to get out of it, they killed him inside it and that also by breakign the laws of wari.e by attackign him from all sides. Manipulation and betrayal existed even then!

Now thats not what i wanted to say, we were discussing it when i asked my friend 'if bollywood were to make mahabharata into a movie...which actors do you think are best suited for the various characters!' to which my mom who was watching tv turned to look at me and say 'dont you have any other job!'

nope i did not, i was jobless! And for some reason, i found this exciting!!

so it wen tlike this . Actually we couldnt do a good job .

We felt that Amitab Bachan can do the role of Bhishma. He had that strong personality

We couldnt actually decide on the rest of them to be frank! For krishna, the main character, she wanted to put sharukh khan!!

'he can charm anyone! he has those dimples' drooled my friend!! sigh! My mom suddenly interested said the name of a mallu actor who we both hated and our reaction was also the same! Shock! Then it became abhishek bachan and then the current fav .. Farhan Akhtar!

'How about Rajni kanth?' my friend laughed! oh yeah, i thot, all his othermovies also treat him like a semi god! But we dont want him, he will put tartar on the name of krishna though he might do all those flipping scenes this time with the flute !!

Panchali - First we thought of Priyanka chopra and then we heard my mom saying, panchali has to be someone sexy , strong and beautiful like bipasha basu!

Karna - hrithik roshan( my moms suggestion again .dont forget that in the begg she actually critisied me and now she is more interested than me)

Kunti - Rekha

Bhima - Sunil Shetty

others , we still couldnt decide on anyone !

'John Abraham and Arjun Rampal is also good !'.... my mom went on....
