Mahabharat Aur Barbareek is a 2013 Indian Hindi language film directed by Dharmesh Tiwari starring Amit Rao Jeetendra as Barbarika, Bhima's grandson through Ghatotkacha. It is the last film that Dharmesh Tiwari starred in. It is based on the story of Barbarika, who had enough power to turn the tide of the battle any way he wanted. Several of the original cast members from B. R. Chopra's 1988 television adaptation of the Mahabharata also appeared in this film.[1][2][3][4]
Plot
[edit]Centered around the Mahabharata narrative, the story is set during the Pandavas' exile and the film features the grandson of Bhima and Hidimbi, Barbarika, who is also known as Lord Shyam and Shyam Baba by Lord Krishna.
