I too think it'll start w/ Krishna. Incidentally, Bharata was not the starting point of the Mahabharata - one could either start w/ Shantanu, or w/ Parikshit/Janamejaya, but obviously, they're not starting w/ the last 2. So this will probably start w/ SRJ as Vishnu narrating this story
The earliest they can show is Ganga sitting on Pratipa's lap, and getting accepted as a future bahu.
Nala & Damayanti are a narrated story to Yudhisthir, not a part of the Kuru lineage itself. So I doubt that that will be shown, especially given the compressed format of this serial.
