A wonderful confluence of modern technology and mythology in the Indian entertainment world and the world of digital streaming is once again ready to thrill the audience. The immortal story of the biggest battle in history fought between religion and unrighteousness is now going to come alive with new color and grandeur. On Friday, November 13, 2026, the country’s leading OTT platform ‘JioHotstar’ has officially released the very impressive and powerful trailer of the second season of its much-talked-about web series ‘Mahabharat: Ek Dharmayudh’. This trailer, which comes with the divine and powerful speech of Lord Shri Krishna, decisive tales of Mahabharata and the background of the historical war of Kurukshetra, has become popular on social media as soon as it was released.
Produced under the ambitious initiative ‘Historyverse’ by the prestigious production house ‘Collective Studios’, this grand series consisting of a total of 25 episodes will be available for streaming exclusively on JioHotstar from 24th November 2026. It has been clarified by the producers that to maintain the enthusiasm of the audience, new episodes of this series will be released every week on a weekly basis. India’s most ancient and world famous epic tale Mahabharata has been brought to the screen in a completely new and world-class style with the help of state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. It is noteworthy that this is India’s first premium AI based mythological series, in which the vast world of Mahabharata period, its powerful characters and the events that changed the direction of history have been given a living form through modern technology.
The trailer of ‘Mahabharat: Ek Dharam Yudh 2’ released by JioHotstar gives a very vivid glimpse of many very sensitive and decisive moments of the main story of Mahabharata. From the beginning till the end of the trailer, many historical scenes keep the audience engaged. In this, the scenes ranging from Pandava prince Arjun’s accurate aim at the eye of the rotating fish after seeing the reflection in water in Draupadi’s Swayamvar, to the humiliating disrobing of Queen Draupadi in the packed royal assembly of Hastinapur and the divine intervention of Lord Shri Krishna in that moment of crisis, have been depicted in a very poignant and grand manner.
All these major events shown in the trailer explain in depth what was the real reason for the devastating war of Mahabharata. In particular, the serious dialogue of Lord Shri Krishna echoing in the background of the trailer—’deceit, deceit, conspiracy, crime and grave insult’—brings to the audience the events that laid the foundation of the great battle of Kurukshetra. The trailer clearly reflects the eternal truth that the Mahabharata war may have been fought with weapons in the battlefield of Kurukshetra, but its destructive seeds were sown much earlier within the royal palaces.
The much-awaited second season is directed by National Film Award-winning filmmaker Rohit Jaysingh Vaidya. Made under his skilled direction, this new season takes forward the story of intense ambition to attain power, changing family relationships with time, the fight for justice and the most difficult and decisive decisions of life. This series focuses on eternal Indian values like religion, duty and responsibility and justice, which are equally relevant and important in today’s modern era.
‘JioStar’ and ‘Collective Studios’ have joined hands to make this huge project a reality. On the technical front, the complex work of cutting-edge AI technology and visual creation of this series has been handled by the expert team of Collective’s exclusive creative institute ‘Gallery5’, while the entire series has been produced by Vijay Subramaniam, Head of Collective Artists Network.
Sharing his thoughts on this ambitious project and the trailer launch of the second season, Vijay Subramaniam, Head of Collective Artists Network and Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO), said that India’s rich culture and heritage holds countless timeless stories that have the power to emotionally connect people across generations. He said that our main objective is to present these great stories to today’s generation in a completely new and modern style, moving away from the traditional methods.
Vijay Subramaniam further clarified that through the ‘Historyverse’ initiative, they are presenting such glorious stories related to Indian culture and history on a larger and global scale. He said that with the help of ‘Gallery5’s advanced AI technology, they have found new and amazing ways to showcase these mythological stories with stunning visuals. Through the second season of ‘Mahabharata: Ek Dharam Yudh’, his team wants to bring this great saga to the audience with its original spirit and soul by creating a balanced combination of technology and new creative thinking. The second season of ‘Mahabharat: Ek Dharam Yudh’ will be available to viewers from November 24 exclusively on JioHotstar.
