Mahabharat's special effects will enthral youth: Chowdharry

Actor Arav Chowdharry, who is playing Bheeshma in upcoming television serial 'Mahabharat', said youth will relate to this ancient epic for the unique portrayal of its characters and special effects.
"Youth will find the look of the characters and especially the visual effects used in the drama very much exciting," Chowdharry, who is here for promotion of the serial, said.
'Mahabharat', the most revered epic of ancient India, will be launched on Star Plus from September 16.
Chowdharry said some of the episodes of the daily soap were shot in Kashmir Valley.
"It is perhaps for the first time that television broadcasters are coming up with a grand show with an investment of Rs 100 crore," he said.

As part of the marketing strategy, the channel has set up a first-of-its-kind Mahabharat museum that has brought alive the epic era.
The museum installed at Centre Square Mall here displays various weapons, jewellery and fineries used by various characters like Gandhari's neckpiece, Arjun's bow and arrow, Hastinapur crown, a flute and Sudarshan Chakra by Krishna.
The display includes a giant LED screen showing "the making of Mahabharat" and a virtual tour of the set.
