The new Colors show, which will replace Bigg Boss Halla Bol, looks exquisite

Siddharth Nigam, who was seen playing the younger version of Aamir Khan in Dhoom 3 and lately in Mahakumbh as Rudra, has been roped in again. This time Siddharth is playing Samrat Ashok (the child version). Also Read - Avneet Kaur to Jannat Zubair: Top 10 TV child actors and their unbelievable transformation

We caught a glimpse of the promo and were mesmerised with the whole treatment of the show, of course it is nothing like The Game of Thrones or similar shows, but it is definitely at par with them. The trailer showcases a young Ashok showing of his wits, strength, daredevil attitude and the hunger to win the thrown before his brothers claim their prize.

Colors’ new venture walks us through the life of the greatest warriors of all time Ashoka and his kingdom. Interestingly, Shah Rukh Khan has already reprised the role of King Ashoka in his movie Asoka opposite Kareena Kapoor. So the show is likely to face a comparison.

We love the treatment of the whole promo. It looks rich and of high production value. The special effects don’t seem artificial either. This will make an interesting watch for sure. Until then watch the video and tell us what you think BollywoodLifers.
