After seeing the photos, many fans wondered if the Mahabharata web series will be animated. The answer to this question is no. Bollywood Hungama quoted Gaurav Banerjee, Head - Content, Disney+ Hotstar who said, "We are going to make Mahabharata which will be a big massive scale production. We are very excited about this one; we are working on this with Madhu Mantena who is our producer and is putting together an incredibly strong team for it. The writing sessions have been very exciting. Creative development has been happening at Disney+ Hotstar over the past several months. We will discuss the casting of Mahabharata soon."
Ineterstingly, Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan soon took to his Twitter handle to congratulate producer Madhu Mantena and Disney for Mahabharata announcement. "If there ever was a time and place to take India's tradition of epic storytelling to a global audience, #MahabharatOnHotstar at the #D23Expo2022 is it! What a start to this magnum opus unveiling by @DisneyPlusHS - Congratulations & more power to Madhu Mantena & team!," wrote Hrithik Roshan.
However, post Hrithik Roshan's Mahabharata tweet, fans started ti sense something wrong. One of the fans pointed out that in Directors Raj Kumari Hirani while in actors only Hrithik Roshan has tweeted in a bid to indicate that they might be the part of Hotstar Specials Mahabharata.
Talking about Hotstar Specials Mahabharata starcast, the film-makers have not done the casting and soon the process will start.
