The show explores the lesser-known early years of the Mahabharat’s iconic families the Pandavs and Kauravas where “relationships are formed, loyalties are tested, and destinies begin to take shape.”

Reflecting on his journey as an actor, Chandan shared how years of practice have shaped his craft. “As an actor I have grown… like any art form when you are learning after years of practice and training it just gets more confident, more poised and you start enjoying that craft more,” he said. “So I feel I’m at that stage where I love performing and I’m enjoying it to the hilt.”
