The Enigma of Ashwatthama
The magnum opus features Amitabh Bachchan as the almighty ‘Ashwatthama’, a crucial character from the Mahabharata. Ashwatthama, son of Guru Dronacharya, is a strong figure in the Mahabharata. Born with a neigh and a divine gem granting near invincibility, his life was marked by unwavering loyalty and devastating actions. He fought for the Kauravas, but his attempt to fulfill Duryodhana`s final wish led to the mistaken deaths of Draupadi`s sons. Later, he aimed a Brahmastra at the unborn child of Abhimanyu. Enraged by this act, Krishna cursed Ashwatthama with immortality, poverty, and a festering wound – a fate worse than death – that will last until the end of time.  Knowing Ashwatthama`s backstory provides a deeper context to his role in the futuristic narrative.
