Karan Johar's Mahabharata
"My film is not to glorify Arjun or Bheem and all those things. I know Bollywood's way of thinking, what they want to do I don't want to do that. I want to give out the message of dharma and adharma. Why should I spend, waste unnecessarily hundreds and hundreds of crores to do that spectacle? There are lots of people, you have Karan Johar to produce those kinds of films, why should I do that?" Vivek added.
