AI-Made Mahabharat Faces Backlash: However, The Reinvention Of The Mythology Is Not A New Concept To The Ott World Of India, But This Time It Has Taken The Completely Futuristic Approach. Following The Debate That Surrounded Adipurush And Kalki 2898 AD Due To Their Unusual Interpretation Of Ancient Stories, Mahabharat: Ek Dharmayudh On Jio Hotstar Is Now The New Scapegoat Of Controversy.
The Twist? It Is Not Just A Retelling, It Is The First Ever Version Of The Mahabharat To Be Written Completely Using Artificial Intelligence. The 100-Part Epic Directed By Lavanya And Produced By Vijay Subramaniam, Pinky Reddy, And Sudeep Lahiri, Was Aimed At Merging The Oldest Indian Legend With State-Of-The-Art Technology.
However, The Internet Had Much To Comment On After Just Two Episodes Only Aired. The Experiment Was Applauded By Some Because Of Its Creativity And Criticized By Others Because Of Historical Inaccuracy. It Was Even Discovered By One Fan That There Was A Bedside Table That Looked Like A Modern One Depicted In An Ancient Royal Room, Something That Soon Went Viral.
Despite The Criticism, The Authors Defend The Vision, Claiming That The Series Is Supposed To Rebrand The Epic To The Viewers Of The Digital Age. It Can Be An Ambitious Creation, It Can Be An Online Flop, But One Thing Is Apparent: Mahabharat: Ek Dharmayudh Has Already Stirred A Debate Like None Has Ever Stirred An Online One.
