From Chennai comes thrilling news on Kannada powerhouse Satish Ninasam’s ‘The Rise of Ashoka’, a film that breaks molds with its 1970s storyline of defiance near Karnataka-Tamil Nadu frontiers. A young man’s uprising against rigid traditions forms the pulsating heart.
Ninasam, during an engaging press interaction, spotlighted the epic logistics: 1,000 performers mobilized, 138 days of intense shoots. ‘Epic cast, monumental sets, flawless orchestration—it’s a game-changer,’ he declared.
Delving deeper, the plot orbits a job-seeking youth liberating himself from community shackles. ‘Beyond personal battles, it’s a beacon for societal evolution,’ the star noted insightfully.
Production hurdles included authentically rebuilding lost village aesthetics—raw earthen structures, untamed paths, everyday humility. Meticulous attention to attire, mannerisms, and acting elevated every role’s impact.
Cutting-edge CGI revamped 1,400 shots over half a year, crafting illusions like endless blooms and clean horizons. Ninasam vouched, ‘Undetectable enhancements make it breathe authenticity.’
Teaming with ‘Kantara’ alum Sapthami Gowda, this venture fuses raw emotion with technical triumph, poised to captivate and redefine Kannada storytelling.
