Chiranjeevi starrer 'Vishwambhara': Director Vassishta reveals story of the fantasy adventure film
Picture Credit: X Director Vassishta's upcoming magnum opus 'Vishwambhara', starring Megastar Chiranjeevi, has been one of the most anticipated Telugu films, which will infuse high-quality VFX and visuals. The director has finally opened up about the film's premise. Film set in Satya Lokam In an interview with Gulte, Vassishta revealed that 'Vishwambhara' is set in Satya Lokam, the highest of the 14 realms (lokas) described in Hindu scriptures, where Lord Brahma resides. He explained, "There are 14 lokalu, seven above and seven below. Many filmmakers have explored different worlds before, like Yama Lokam or Svarga Lokam. We have already seen films where Yama Lokam and Svarga Lokam are explored. I wanted to do something different. " The director added that the film follows a hero who must cross multiple worlds to rescue the heroine, a premise like the epics like Rama yana. "Just like Rama went for Sita, our hero ventures into unknown worlds for someone dear," he shared. Not another JVAS There have been speculations whether the movie is being inspired by Vassishta's previous fantasy hit 'Bimbisara' or the iconic 'Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari', which featured Chiranjeevi in a memorable fantasy role. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Kate Middleton Reportedly Taking Royal Split 'Badly' Crowdy Fan Undo Addressing comparisons to 'Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari,' Vassishta clarified that 'Vishwambhara' is entirely original. "As a kid, I watched JVAS, but this film has nothing to do with that. Nor does it resemble Bhairava Dweepam. All fantasy films will see the hero look for a person or thing that is missing or in another world", he said.
