After Mahabharat, Swastik Productions to depict the life of King Ashoka on Star Plus

Producer Siddharth Kumar Tewary and his Swastik Productions are simply on a roll!! The man has fulfilled his dream of giving the audience his own interpretation of the epic Mahabharat. The magnum opus show on Star Plus made heads turn and has been appreciated for its grand presentation, quality of the product and for the great ensemble cast. With Mahabharat drawing to a close soon, Siddharth Tewary is already thinking ‘big’ to come up with yet another unexplored concept on television. This is a Tellychakkar.com exclusive coming to our readers. Swastik Productions is making yet another mighty show for Star Plus. Their next association after Mahabharat, will be a show which will depict the life of the mighty warrior King Ashoka. Ashoka the Great as we know, was an emperor of the Maurya dynasty who waged a destructive war against the Kalingas, and later went on to embrace Buddhism after witnessing the mass deaths in the war. A reliable source states, “Swastik Productions is presently indulging in meetings with Star. They are having script level discussions, and the channel and production house is keeping the entire project very secretive.” A very well-placed industry friend gave us the information that Contiloe Entertainment had earlier pitched a similar concept to Colors. However, the show did not see its dawn. And now, Swastik Productions will certainly bring the tale of Ashoka to the audience. We tried contacting Producer Siddharth Tewary, but did not get any revert from him. We made a futile attempt to get a comment from a channel spokesperson. Watch this space for more exclusive updates.
