Another source from the industry informs, “Gagan Malik was approached to play Lord Krishna in Star Plus’ Mahabharat but he couldn’t take up the offer as he is busy shooting for his daily Saath Saath- Banayenge Ek Ashiyana on Zee. There will be many good looking hunks on the show.” The shooting which is on in the jungles of Morna, near Delhi is currently at a halt due to the heavy rains. “The cast and crew of Maharabharat have finished the indoor shoots but the outdoors shots are still to be completed,” concludes the source.
