New Delhi: Actress Rhea Chakraborty has remained a newsmaker ever since late actor Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his Bandra residence on June 14, 2020. The duo was in a relationship and Rhea faced the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) and Enforcement Directorate (ED) in various case angles related to SSR's death.

According to a report published in Times of India, a source has been quoted as saying, "This would be a massive project with a unique and different take on Mahabharata and the character of Draupadi. The world that it will be set in will be modern and contemporary, something that hasn’t been done before. The role of Draupadi has been offered to Rhea Chakraborty and she is considering it currently. The discussion is very initial though."

Recently, she topped the Times Most Desirable Woman 2020 list.
