The producer is said to be working on the show which will essay the warrior king’s life

Epics have dominated the small screen since years now. The saga was revived with Star Plus’s hit show Mahabharat, courtesy producer Siddharth Kumar Tewary.

Tewary is said to bring in yet another epic based on the life of warrior king Ashoka. A source while talking to a popular daily revealed, “Since his current show on the epic is coming to an end, he has started work on the new one. The story will cover Ashoka’s life journey from his childhood. Siddharth’s research team has been working hard on the pre-production work, and if everything goes according to plan, the shoot might start in a few months. Auditions for the role are currently going on and the makers will soon lock actors. So far no one has been shortlisted.”

Well we all remember Shah Rukh Khan’s stint in the 2001 film Ashoka where he essayed the role of the warrior king. Where the badshah of B-town dazzled the silver screen with his mighty stint, we wonder which actor would pull off a similar one on the small screen
