Mahabharat, India’s most celebrated epic will be telecasted in Doordarshan. Collective Media Network has announced the groundbreaking AI-led reimagination of Mahabharat. The series will have its exclusive digital premiere on WAVES OTT on 25 October 2025, followed by its telecast on DD every Sunday at 11:00 AM starting 2 November 2025.
The series will be simultaneously available for digital audiences across India and worldwide via WAVES OTT.
The collaboration pairs the legacy and nationwide reach of India’s public broadcaster with the creative innovation of a next-generation media network.
Leveraging advanced AI tools, the series rebuilds the vast Mahabharat universe, its characters, battlefields, emotions, and moral dilemmas with cinematic scale and striking realism.
Speaking about the collaboration, Gaurav Dwivedi, CEO, Prasar Bharati said, “Prasar Bharati has always brought stories of national and cultural significance to every Indian home. The re-telecast of the original Mahabharat during the lockdown reminded us how deeply these narratives bind families and generations together. Partnering on this AI-led reimagining allows audiences to experience one of India’s greatest epics anew, honouring tradition while embracing cutting-edge technology in storytelling. It is an expression of Vikas and Virasat coming together in modern broadcasting.”
Vijay Subramaniam, Founder & Group CEO of Collective Artists Network remarked, “With Mahabharat, our hope is to give today’s generation a similar touchstone that feels as immersive and unifying as it did for us, but told through the possibilities of today’s technology. This is about bhakti and pragati walking together to create something that is both deeply rooted in tradition and boldly forward-looking.”
WAVES, Prasar Bharati’s official OTT platform, brings together India’s rich tapestry of culture, news, and entertainment on one digital destination. Featuring video-on-demand, live events, and an extensive bouquet of TV, radio, audio, and magazine content, WAVES has swiftly garnered millions of users for its credible, family-friendly, and multilingual offerings.
