Ashwatthamas Redemption The Rise of Dandak Book 1
Over a hundred years after the Mahabharata War, an ancient power threatens to destroy the new Age of Men, by establishing the Age of Terror of the asuras, long believed to be extinct. The only hurdle in its path is Guru Dronacharya’s son, the mighty but accursed warrior Ashwatthama, who lost all his powers following Lord Krishna’s curse, and who unwittingly finds himself drawn into the quest of the lost bow of Lord Rama—the Kodanda. As ghosts of the distant past return to haunt him, and the line between friends and enemies blurs, Ashwatthama must fight his inner demons to emerge victorious. He undertakes a perilous journey—across the vast plains of the Ganges, to the snow-capped peaks of the Himavant—where the price of failure is a fate worse than death, and death is a privilege not granted to Ashwatthama. Is this all part of Lord Krishna’s great plan? Will Ashwatthama be able to regain his lost glory?

Arre, how did this happen?” she exclaimed. It was soon studios and shoots instead of studies and books My time or yours? Aseem Merchant, her first steady boyfriend in Mumbai.

Apart from being a commercial success, it marked the arrival of a very competent actress who was unafraid to experiment with her roles. Aitraaz played a huge part in fetching her the lead role in Krrish, a plum assignment opposite heartthrob Hrithik Roshan. Interestingly, Aitraaz was directed by Abbas-Mustan who had once replaced Priyanka with Ameesha Patel in their film Humraaz The ‘Desi Girl’ tag stuck to her after she did that swinging number in Dostana. ‘Desi Girl’ was her calling card when she went West with her single ‘Exotic’ with Pitbull The 7 Lives of Susanna – Priyanka picked up the challenge of playing a woman who murders seven husbands in 7 Khoon Maaf, a film in which she aged and turned downright ugly too. “Every actor must work at least once with Vishal,” she enthused about her director Her fearless foray into downplaying her glamour to be in character won her the admiration of co-star Neil Nitin Mukesh who played one of her seven husbands in the film Mee Marathi – after she lost her father to cancer, Priyanka and her mother Madhu set up a film production house, Purple Pebble Pictures, in Mumbai, with the actress calling the shots long distance from the US. Straddling two continents, she astonished her colleagues by backing small-budget regional cinema in a big way. She came up trumps with the Marathi film Ventilator which Rajesh Mapuskar (below) wrote and directed for her company. Priyanka also had a coach in New York to teach her to pronounce the lyrics of ‘Baba’, a song she sang in Marathi (right) and dedicated to her late father
