Bipasha
Basu who was recently seen in EROS International's film noir,
No Smoking, will be starring in a historical epic.
Titled
Ashoka The Great, the film will be directed by Raj Kumar Santoshi
and will also star Ajay Devgan. Bipasha will play the character
of Kaurwaki.
The
film will depict the great Kalinga war that emperor Ashoka
himself started so as to spread the word of Mauryan Empire
in the 3rd century BC.
But
during the bloody battle that followed, Ashoka's outlook on
life was transformed as he turned to Buddhism for peace.
Shooting
for this epic which will take place in Malaysia and Thailand
in 2008 is said to be completely different from Shah Rukh
Khan and Kareena Kapoor starrer, Ashoka.
