Sony TV’s upcoming magnum opus Porus is one show that we all are waiting for! It promises the grandeur of a period drama, gruelling performances and the display of some real good urdu linguistics.

Pouus would also be the concatenation of the Swastik Productions legacy in creating super successful mythological shows. Porus is based on the King Porus of the Paurava kingdom and his battle with Alexander the Great.

The cast boasts of the TV industry’s most talented actors namely Laksh Lalwani who is playing King Porus, IIra Dubey who plays Queen Olympias, Rohit Purohit playing Alexander, Rati Pandey, Ishita Ganguly,Aditya Redij, Suhani Dhanki and many more.

History seems to be TV’s latest obsession going by the spate of historical shows being churned out by various channels. The success of Baahubali also also encouraged them to make war sagas. Sony TV’s unveiled the first teaser of Porus last night and it is mind-blowing to say the least. TV hunk Laksh Lalwani plays the great Indian king, Porus known as Puru in ancient India while Rohit Purohit is the Greek invader, Alexander. Made at a reported budget of Rs 500 crores, Porus looks like a mix of Baahubali and Spartacus. A significant portion of the show has been shot in Thailand to show the trade routes that determined sovereignty in those days. The exotic locations and special effects give Porus a fabulous canvas.

The show is based on the legendary story of an Indian ruler who defeated a Greek emperor in 350 BC. The tale is an integral part of Indian and Greek mythology. The show will tell the story of the Battle of Hydaspes. Films like Sikander were made in the 1940s where Prithviraj Kapoor and Sohrab Modi played Alexander and Porus. Rati Pandey makes a comeback to TV with Porus and plays Porus’ mother Queen Anusuya while Aditya Redij plays King Bamani, father of Porus. Newcomer Aman Dhaliwal plays Shivdutt, the evil uncle of Porus. Suhani Dhanki is Porus’ love interest.
