Ekta Kapoor's Mahabharat failed miserably because of it's casting and mis presentation of all characters.Proper audition was not done of all the characters unlike BR Chopra and Star Plus Mahabharat where actors were chosen based on their acting skills and looks not on basis of physique.Whereas in Ekta's Mahabharat actors were chosen without any proper audition only on the basis of their tv popularity.Moreover instead of traditional,western looks were given to all the characters especially Draupadi instead of sari she was seen wearing red gown by having tatoo on the chest.The actor who played Bheema didn't look like him instead he looked like Duryodhana.Even Shakuni was not shown as evil and cunning guy instead he was shown as serious and bald man who is unhappy all the time.
