After the nationwide lockdown was announced, Doordarshan has brought back many shows on television that aired in 80s and 90s. The popular mythology shows – Ramayan, Mahabharat, Shri Krishna – have seen massive viewership. Now, another show is making a comeback – Nitish Bharadwaj starrer Vishnupuran.
Vishnupuran starred Nitish Bharadwaj as the lead character. He earlier played Lord Krishna in BR Chopra’s Mahabharat. Vishnupuran will air from May 14 at 7 pm on DD Bharati.

Directed by Ravi Chopra and produced by BR Chopra, Vishnupuran is based on the book of the same name. It featured the stories of 10 incarnations of Lord Vishnu.
Ever since the re-runs started, the fans of the show Mahabharat have gone down the memory lane as they are reliving BR Chopra’s epic re-telling of the Mahabharat.
Since the show will end soon, a video has resurfaced on the internet which is from the day when the last episode was shot.
The video showed the main actors Gajendra Chauhan, Roopa Ganguly, Nitish Bharadwaj, Mukesh Khanna, Gufi Paintal among others were seen hugging everyone whereas Firoz Khan who played the role of Arjuna was very emotional and in tears. Dressed in his costume, it was very difficult for him to bid farewell to the character that played for the longest time.
