When director Abhishek Majumdar started to pen Kaumudi, he was looking to rope an actor who is not just a great actor, but can also play an actor. The story is a reimagination of the Mahabharata, and revolves around a thespian, Satyasheel, who is in the twilight of his career. He's inching towards performing his last show but is also going blind. Satyasheel is a man who has made a career out of playing Eklavya, the iconic student of Dronacharya from the Mahabharata. The narrative weaves in a play within a play, where the events lead to Abhimanyu, Arjuna's son putting forth certain questions before Eklavya's ghost.
