Samrat Ashoka Story
Samrat Ashoka tracks the rise of Prince Ashoka, his conflicts within the Mauryan court, and his conquest-driven reign culminating in the brutal Kalinga war. Shattered by the carnage and the death of his queen Tishya Raksha, Ashoka undergoes a moral reckoning, renouncing violence to embrace Buddhism. Framed as an epic arc—from ambition and bloodshed to remorse and spiritual transformation—the film closes with Ashoka’s ideal of Dhamma and the emblematic Ashoka Chakra, with NTR also appearing as Chanakya to underscore the saga’s political–spiritual sweep.
