Pracchand Ashok captures the love story of Samrat Ashok and Princess Kaurwaki

The trailer of Colors’ magnum opus Pracchand Ashok gave us glimpses of the legendary love saga of Samrat Ashok (Adnan Khan) and Princess Kaurwaki (Mallika Singh).

Ready to premiere soon, the historical romance traces the journey of Samrat Ashok and Princess Kaurwaki, two individuals who are as different as day and night. Kaurwaki seeks a compassionate companion, who is devoted to his family, while Ashok is driven by his thirst for power. Despite their contrasting ideologies, fate weaves a love story that changes history forever. Joining the star-studded cast are seasoned actors such as Rakshanda Khan, Chetan Hansraj and Surendra Pal.

Chetan Hansraj, who is essaying the role of Bindusar, says, “Portraying Bindusar involves more than merely adopting the persona of a historical figure. It’s about bringing to life an enigmatic ruler whose influence resonates through centuries. He was known as the slayer of enemies, and he wielded authority while navigating the complexities of his kingdom’s inner workings and familial tensions. Stepping into his shoes is an opportunity to live and present history as we know it. I’m thrilled about depicting the human intricacies behind the regal façade as he strove for the dynasty’s grandeur. There’s a certain responsibility in portraying such a renowned character, and I’m committed to honouring his legacy with every step of this journey. I hope to captivate the audience as Bindusar and offer a portrayal that pays homage to his glory.”

Rakshanda, who plays Helena, says, “Playing Helena is an incredible chance to embody a strong and influential character in a male-dominated world. I am doing historical drama for the first time and I am excited. Her strategic mind earned her respect in Chandragupta Maurya’s court, shaping crucial decisions and leaving a lasting impact on the kingdom.”
