New Delhi: In the year 2013, film maker Aman Khan brought the film ‘Mahabharata’. Seeing his efforts to adapt this into an animation film, it seemed that this film would create a stir at the box office. However this did not happen. Those stars of the acting world who are considered guaranteed hits worked in the film.
In this film with a big star cast, not one or two but eight superstars were seen in lead roles. But still this film failed miserably at the box office. Made in crores of rupees, this film collected only Rs 1.5 crores. Which was shocking not only for Aman Khan but also for the audience. The film was produced by Kaushal Kanti Lal Gada and Dhaval Jayantilal Gada.
‘No one is giving me work’, Jackie Shroff’s heroine, never got the status of top actress, even OTT could not save her career
This film was made on a huge budget
The makers had to spend Rs 50 crore to bring Mahabharata to the audience through animation. It proved to be one of the most expensive films in the animation category. If we talk about the characters in the film, the voice of Bhishma was given by Amitabh Bachchan. Apart from Amitabh, stars like Ajay Devgan, Sunny Deol, Anil Kapoor, Manoj Bajpayee, Jackie Shroff, Shatrughan Sinha and Vidya Balan had given voice for the characters in the film.
Many veteran stars were also included
Veteran actors of the industry like Anupam Kher and Deepti Naval also worked in the big star cast of the film. But even after the addition of those stars whose names make films a hit, or whose characters people always like, the film could not achieve success.
Let us tell you that this film with the presence of 8 superstars was released in theaters on 27 December 2013. But this film, made with a budget of Rs 50 crore, failed at the box office earning only Rs 1.5 crore. The film disappeared from the theater after just a week. In this film, all the big stars of the industry did the dubbing for free.
