The Minister of Information and Broadcasting, Prakash Javdekar, requested me to share the rights as soon as possible and I agreed immediately to lend all the support possible to Doordarshan for telecasting Mahabharata. But, after the Coronavirus stalled most activities in the country, the process got accelerated. Recalling how Doordarshan reached out to him for the telecast, Dr Gada, says, "Doordarshan was in talks with us for a while for the procurement of the rights for the telecast of Mahabharata.
The idea behind the re-run is to ensure that people are entertained and don’t lose their high spirit during these tough times. Since the show has done brilliantly (as evident from the TRP ratings) and the lockdown has extended, DD has decided to have a re-run of the show on DD Retro channel (from May 3 to 26, at 3 pm) and Pen has enthusiastically supported them in the endeavour keeping the larger interest of the nation in mind.
