Rana Daggubati’s film ‘Hiranyakashyap’ is inspired by the Amar Chitra Katha comics. Its story is being written by star director Trivikram Srinivas. Surely watching Rana playing the role of a demon king on screen will be a different experience for the audience. Especially after the ‘Bahubali’ franchise, expectations have increased from him in such a role. However, it has not been told yet who will direct this film of Rana Daggubati.
Director Gunasekhar was working on the project
It is worth noting that director Gunasekhar along with his team has worked on this project for a few years. Rana has already expressed his desire that he wants to work under the direction of Gunasekhar. This project of Gunasekhar was in the pre-production phase, when due to some reasons it got shelved. But now it seems that the work on this project will start soon.
The story of Chalukya dynasty will be ‘Lords of Deccan’
On the other hand, ‘Lords of The Deccan’ series will be inspired by Anirudh Kanisetty’s bestseller, ‘Lords of the Deccan: From Southern India from Chalukyas to Cholas’. In this series we will be shown the story of the birth of Chalukya dynasty. A dynasty that shaped southern India for centuries.
Sony Liv and Spirit Media will produce the web series
Saugata Mukherjee, Content Head, SonyLIV said, “We believe in taking great Indian stories to a global audience. Keeping this in mind, we bring to the screen the popular book ‘Lords of the Deccan’ by Anirudh Kanisetty.
