Koushik, renowned across India for his original theatrical creations and visual tapestries, has sculpted and helmed this production in a transformative avatar.
Koushik says, "Chakravyuh has been there in the Hindi theatre scene for a few years now and the show completing its 100th staging is definitely a happy and proud moment for all of us who are associated with the play in any capacity. It's not about the number, it's about the fact that the audience has been accepting our theatre and the ideas we want to put across for all these years. Putting up a show of this scale 100 times is itself a managerial challenge as well, but I am glad that our team has done this with confidence and style."
Adding to this, Bharadwaj says, "Bhagwad Geeta is the most practical philosophy to become successful. Chakravyuh is my medium of bringing Krishna's Geeta to people's lives."
