The show will showcase the era of the epic Mahabharata when Pandavas and Kauravas had announced to fight against each other.
Paintal will be making a comeback on the small screen with this serial.
Gufi Paintal said, "It is my pleasure to play the role of Shakuni Mama once again on television as it was undeniably my very best role. I am excited and very fortunate to be the only actor who will be enacting his own role once again, especially a character that the audiences still remembers and praises me for."
"I am confident that I would be able to recreate the same magic ‘Shakuni' created back then, " he said.
Imagine TV has also introduced Sachin Verma as Yudhisthira, Joy Mathur as Bheema, Amit Pachori as Duryodhana and Gautam Sharma as Arjuna to enact the iconic characters of Mahabharata in ‘Dwarkadheesh Bhagwaan Shree Krishn'.
Produced by Sagar Pictures, the serial is shown on Imagine TV from Monday to Friday at 8.00pm.
Paintal had also enacted the same character in BR Chopra's 'Mahabharat'.
