Hema Malini and Jeetendra will be seen in a mythological film, ‘Mahabharat Aur Barabareek’, after nearly 23 years. Director Dharmesh Tiwari said, “Hema Malini is playing Hidamba and Jeetendra plays a disciple.” However, they don’t have any scene together in the movie. Nonetheless, Tiwari said, “Both Jeetuji and Hemaji are very spiritual people. And he also has a song which is very similar to one of his popular numbers — Tune Mujhe Bulaya Sherawaliye from his movie Aasha (1980).” When asked, Jeetendra said, “Yes, I and Hema will be seen in the same film after 23 years. But the real reason was I wanted to go to Khatu Shyam temple and this film gave me that opportunity.” Apart from them, actors from BR Chopra’s Mahabharat will be seen together playing the same role in this film. As Tiwari said, “Arjun ( Feroz Khan), Gufi Paintal (Shakuni), Rupa Ganguly (Draupadi) are also there in the film. The only new addition to the cast is Gracy Singh.”
