In Kaumudi, a reimagination of the Mahabharata, director Abhishek Majumdar prods his audience to relook at the epic
When director Abhishek Majumdar started to pen Kaumudi, he was looking to rope an actor who is not just a great actor, but can also play an actor. The story is a reimagination of the Mahabharata, and revolves around a thespian, Satyasheel, who is in the twilight of his career. He's inching towards performing his last show but is also going blind. Satyasheel is a man who has made a career out of playing Eklavya, the iconic student of Dronacharya from the Mahabharata. The narrative weaves in a play within a play, where the events lead to Abhimanyu, Arjuna's son putting forth certain questions before Eklavya's ghost.
