My Take
I have a quiet reverence for Ravi Chopra. Adapting the Mahabharata for television is no ordinary job; it means carrying the spiritual imagination of an entire nation into living rooms. That 1988 series became a cultural touchstone, and shaping something so beloved is a rare achievement. I have never believed cinema belongs to Hollywood alone, and filmmakers like Chopra, who preserve and retell their own heritage on screen, deserve real respect. Though he passed in 2014, the work he left endures across generations. To craft something families return to for decades strikes me as a genuinely fortunate creative life.
