Divyansh Mundra might just be India’s most unexpected mythmaker—a small-town boy from Ratlam who taught himself the art of storytelling on Instagram and parlayed it into a flourishing career in cinema and content creation. Now, with Mahabharat 2025, he takes on a whole new challenge: bringing the grandeur of a streaming epic to the printed page and setting a bold new benchmark for contemporary Indian fiction.

At 29, Mundra is already a cultural force to reckon with. With over a million followers across social platforms, his short, cinematic videos capture millions of views. But Mahabharat 2025 is his audacious leap into long-form storytelling, and it’s intentionally disruptive. This is a book that’s bound to revolutionize Indian publishing.

In Mahabharat 2025, mythology collides with modernity in a riveting saga of ancient curses and forgotten legacies. The story doesn’t begin in a palace or on a battlefield—it begins in the early morning fog of Rishikesh, where an 18-year-old Divyansh Ananthar watches in horror as his grandfather walks into the Ganga and vanishes without a trace. That single moment sends ripples through his life that he can’t escape.

Tormented by visions he can’t rationalize and memories he can’t shake, Divyansh tries to push the past away. But some things can’t stay buried.

An Ancient War, A New Arena

Now an adult, Divyansh has reinvented himself as a sharp-witted social media star, with a massive following—but the past he’s tried to forget looms large. When myth begins to blur with reality, he’s forced to confront an uncomfortable truth: he is the last living heir to a war that was never truly over.

At the heart of the unraveling is Agastya—an exiled Gandharva warrior, weighed down by a mysterious past, and bound by his solemn duty to protect a hidden power known only as Shunya. A being of myth, he walks among the living as the ancient prophecy stirs once more.

By Divyansh’s side is Maya—his oldest friend and unwavering anchor. Grounded, perceptive, and the one person who sees through the chaos Divyansh tries to mask, Maya is his emotional compass in a world gone mad.

As relics from a forgotten time begin to resurface—a sword only Divyansh can wield, a cryptic diary filled with riddles, and whispers of a war long buried—Divyansh faces a choice: continue running from the destiny written in his blood, or finally step into it.

“Pain is temporary. I could always heal. But that sliver of hope is what hurt the most.” And hope, Divyansh is about to learn, is the most dangerous myth of all. Because the Mahabharat wasn’t a story from the past.

MEET THE CHARACTERS

The war is trending. And they’re the reason:

• Divyansh is an audacious influencer who doesn’t know he is a living weapon.
• Agastya, a celestial being in exile haunted by 500 years of guilt.
• Maya is calm in the chaos, hiding more than she lets on.
• And Ashwatthama? Cursed by Krishna, waiting for centuries. He doesn’t want revenge; he seeks redemption by fire.
