When Ekta launched Mahabharata she decided to take break from her ‘K’ title criteria but the TV czar couldn’t go far. According to Balaji sources Ekta had named her show Mahabharat but the title is registered with BR Chopra Productions and they are not ready to party away with their huge brand. Balaji’s creative team came up with few more titles like Humara Mahabharat and Bharat Ka Mahabharat and the final say laid with Sunita Menon who suggested the title ‘Kahani Hamaaray Mahabharat ki’.


After the title was finalized Ekta got it corrected from Sanjay B Jumani he added the a few extra ‘a’ to make the title an auspicious one. Ekta jokes that the alphabet ‘K’ keeps coming back to her even tough she tried hard not to make it a part of her show this time. The shoot for the epic is on a roll and Ekta can’t stop sharing the story behind the title Mahabharat.
