The greatest love stories are not without their trials, but what happens when fate writes a timeless saga that changes the course of history?

Witness the colossal power of love as Colors takes the audience back in time to the glory of the Mauryan and Kalinga dynasty with its magnum opus Pracchand Ashok.

It highlights the royal odyssey of Samrat Ashok and Princess Kaurwaki whose thirst for power and yearning for affection collide.

Starring actors Adnan Khan and Mallika Singh in the roles of Samrat Ashok and Princess Kaurwaki respectively and produced by Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji Telefilms, Pracchand Ashok premiered on February 6.

Adnan says, “Getting the chance to essay the role of Samrat Ashok is like living out a childhood fantasy. Joining the Colors family, especially with a grand show like Pracchand Ashok, is an incredible opportunity to connect with its massive set of viewers across the country. I’m grateful to Colors and Balaji Telefilms who have trusted me to embody a legend, whose life spans from the conquest to compassion. I promise that this show will enliven the historical romance on Indian television screens.”

Mallika says, “Working with Colors and the incredible Ektaa R Kapoor is a dream come true. Princess Kaurwaki’s huge role in Samrat Ashok’s life and how she shaped history is a story that deserves to be told. I believe my calling as an actor through this show is to pay tribute to the legendary woman, who knew the power of love.”
