Bollywood’s Greek God in Krishna avatar?

After Bajirao’s Mastani and Rani Padmavati Deepika Padukone is all set to play the role of ‘Draupadi’. Director Nitesh Tiwari has already announced his plan of depicting one of the Sanskrit epics of ancient India, ‘Mahabharata’. The movie will be produced by Madhu Mantena. Now according to sources, the makers are trying to rope in Hrithik Roshan for playing the role of Krishna. The source has revealed,

“Since producer Madhu Mantena is a very close friend of Hrithik’s, he is in talks with the star for the role. Playing Lord Krishna is a welcome challenge for any actor. The logistics are being worked out for Hrithik’s participation.”

On casting Deepika for the role of Draupadi, the producer revealed,

“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 is currently busy with her upcoming film ‘Chhapaak’, which is slated to release on January 10th, 2020. Chhapaak will be the first movie that will be produced by Deepika’s production followed by ‘83’, which is the biopic on the former cricketer Kapil Dev and Mahabharata will also be co-produced by Deepika’s production house. If things go smoothly then we might see the Bollywood’s ‘Greek God’ in the role of Lord Krishna.
