The magnum opus show is not only known for its budget.
The Idea of getting Porus and the golden age of India on screen made the creator Siddharth Kumar Tewary take the entire crew to Thailand. The production was shot across various locations in India and Thailand, including Khao Sok National Park and Pattaya. Five sets were constructed over nine acres at the Vrindavan Studio in Umbergaon in Gujarat where a number of mythological shows have been shot. The sets include recreations of the kingdoms of Pauravas in the Punjab region, Persia, Taxila and three ports.

The most Interesting part is that this show not only focusses on the birth and life of Puru (played by Laksh Lalwani) but also the other side of story(and world) i.e. the story of Alexander The Great.Hence, many Macedonian Sets were also created for this purpose. We saw one such huge Temple of Zeus in the earlier episodes.
Icing on the top was the world class VFX work. It is a commendable job that we got to see perfect CG work in television. The scenes of Paurav rastra, Ship scenes, waterfall scenes we breathtakingly beautiful.
So, anyway, the expectations have risen for Porus and for all of the Indian Television Industry. Let us hope that this show gets better.
