Yet another period film is coming up from director Rajkumar Santoshi.
Before commencing work on Ramayana , Santoshi will start work on his next which is based on the life of Ashoka, The Great .
Like in Santoshi’s other films, Ajay Devgan has been signed to play the protagonist in this film, too. Bipasha Basu will play the female lead.
Slated to go on the floors in early January, the film will be shot in various parts of Thailand, Malaysia, Bangkok and on sets in Mumbai. Santoshi confirms, “Yes, it is true that I am making a film on the life of King Ashoka and we have tentatively titled it Ashoka, The Great . It is a fascinating subject. We have already signed Ajay Devgan to play the lead role of Ashoka. As for the female lead, Bipasha has agreed.”
In 2001, Santosh Sivan cast Shah Rukh Khan in his Asoka, too, but it failed to make an impact on audiences.
