While many had to settle like the show’s Krishna, Nitsh Bhardwaj, who actually wanted to play Abhimanyu, Puneet got the role he wanted. They found their ideal Bheem in athlete Praveen Kumar, who left Puneet bruised and battered in the climax fight scene. Since I had read Mahabharat, I wanted to play Duryodhan. A single shot used to take a lot of time. My entire body used to turn black and blue after the shot.
