The announcement of a has renewed the curiosity around B R Chopra's legendary adaptation of the epic for TV. While Mr Chopra's series was based on the traditionally accepted version of the text attributed to Ved Vyas, the new Mahabharata, to be made on a budget of Rs 1000 crore, will adapt MT Vasudevan Nair's critically acclaimed novel Randaamoozham. The principal character of the novel is the third Pandav brother,.
The film is touted to be a game changer in the big-budget projects segment of the film industry, just like B R Chopra's Mahabharata, which was (and still is) one-of-a-kind on the small screen. Though there have been attempts to re-adapt the epic, none matched the iconic status of B R Chopra's version, made at a time when Sunday mornings were dedicated to watching what Doordarshan had to offer. This, as everyone who grew up in the Eighties and early Nineties, was often a community activity. B R Chopra's series cast some famous names like Mukesh Khanna, Raj Babbar, Praveen Kumar and Rupa Ganguly but for many, the show became pretty much their identity. Mr Chopra's Mahabharata originally aired from 1988 to 1990. Here's a look at some of the members of the cast after almost three decades.
Raj Babbar - Bharat. Debashree Roy - Satyavati Bengali star Debashree Roy started her career in 1978 and, after a brief struggle, shot to acclaim with a role in Aparna Sen's 36 Chowringhee Lane.

Debashree Roy was at the peak of her career when she signed up to play Satyavati in Mahabharata. Her career graph took a downward dip after 2008 and she was last seen in 2014 film 24th July. She was briefly married to Bengali actor Prosenjit Chatterjee.
Puneet Issar - Duryodhana Actor Puneet Issar will, perhaps, never shake off his controversial big screen role as antagonist opposite Amitabh Bachchan in Coolie (1983), when Big B suffered his infamous and near-fatal injury while filming a fight scene with his co-star. In the weeks that followed, Puneet Issar was demonised by Big B's adoring public while the star lay comatose in hospital.

On TV, he last appeared in Bigg Boss season 8 in 2014.
