Ashwatthama: The Saga Continues Plot
Ashwatthama: The Saga Continues is going to be a superhero film inspired by Ashwatthama’s character in Mahabharata. Thanks to a curse from Krishna, Ashwatthama, a significant character in the Indian epic Mahabharata, is rumoured to be alive and well today and to stay so until the end of Kaliyuga. A volatile individual, he contributed to the creation of multiple pivotal arcs that functioned as tactically advantageous positions during the final stages of the Kurukshetra conflict.
Along with Vyasa, Hanuman, Parashurama, Vibhishana, Mahabali, Kripacharya, and Sage Markandeya, Ashwatthama is considered one of the eight Chiranjeevi. He is the son of Guru Dronacharya and Kripi, who is Kripacharya’s twin sister. Even though Ashwatthama was a minor character in the Mahabharata, his story is interesting. Millions of people almost died because of the son of Drona, who was in possession of many deadly weapons.
