[ After shooting in Rajasthan and Kashmir, the team of TV show Mahabharat headed to the scenic valleys of Bhedhaghat in Jabalpur to finish the opening sequence, which wrapped up on Thursday.
For the makers, MP’s exotic landscape makes for a perfect background for the magnum opus. “We found Bhedhaghat to be a truly exotic location and it also befits the kind of ambience we were looking for. Moreover, many people haven’t seen the stunning marble rocks of MP, so we thought, why not explore it this time. The feel in Bhedhaghat is so international. The place looks like the grand canyons of the Colorado river,” saysSiddharth Kumar Tewary , the producer-director of
Mahabharat.
Incidentally, Kareena’s song Raat Ka Nasha from the film Asoka was also shot in Bhedhaghat. In Mahabharat, the opening scene where Satyavati, played bySayantani Ghosh , and Shantanu, played by Sameer Dharmadhikari , meet on a boat, and other such sequences have been shot in Jabalpur.
Siddharth informs, “We’ve shot some extremely difficult action scenes on the Narmada Ghats in the five-day long schedule. But by the end of it, things went off pretty well. It’s been a great experience shooting in MP – the weather was really pleasant. I was also impressed by the cooperative state administration. I wish to be back here soon.”
