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.
