Agree..the casting director has done an amazing job with the starcast.
Even the kids.
Ashoka son of Bindusara and Dharma who eyes have tenderness yet the shrewdness of a ruler
The first Raani and her son have the look of pure evilness
Noor and her son seem to be more cunning and stupid with a dash of crookedness
Chanakya is just brilliant with Manoj holding fort
Suzanne is fascinating as Helena...the crude evil Queen
And last but never the least is the Wonder Pack Young Sid as Ashoka who puts all the 6-pack 8-pack TV heroes to shame!😃
And about history gosh it was a subject I hated and made sure I studied Civics to score my passing 40 marks. Now with all this finery, majestic set up, and starcast it makes my History lessons truly a joy to watch in this day and age. Its never too late to learn something they say. So better still now a pictorial, grand and fun way to learn. And about authenticity of historical data, this is a show made for entertainment and not a documentary where referrals are made and adapted to the present day.
Completely bowled over by Young Ashoka. Who is charismatic and extraordinary! 😳
