Mumbai, Jul 2 (IANS): "Nazar" actor Malhar Pandya feels very lucky to have got the opportunity to essay the role of Karna in "RadhaKrishn".

"Speaking about Karna, he is considered a true and great warrior. He's also an important character in the chapter of 'Mahabharat'. I am very lucky to have received this opportunity and will give my 100 percent to further enhance this character. I hope that my hard work behind this character will be seen on screen by the audience," added the "Devon Ke Dev...Mahadev".
