Get ready for a cinematic spectacle that bridges ancient legacy with modern storytelling. ‘Swambhu’, the much-hyped period drama from director Bharat Krishnamachari, stars Nikhil, Samyuktha, and Naba Natesh in lead roles. The film’s narrative pulses with the essence of the Sengol – that iconic sceptre now enshrined in India’s new Parliament.
Actor Nikhil dropped a bombshell about the plot’s core. Rooted in the Sengol’s profound legacy, the story explores themes of dharma, justice, and kingly virtue. ‘Everyone recognizes the Sengol from PM Modi’s hands at the Parliament opening,’ Nikhil shared. ‘But few know it traces back to Lord Rama, passed down as a mandate for fair rule. It played a pivotal role in Chola empires, and we’ve crafted an imaginative saga around our hero and this timeless symbol.’
Set in the opulent Chola era, known for its architectural marvels and naval prowess, ‘Swambhu’ is poised to dazzle. Produced under Pixel Studios by Bhuvan and Shrikar, excitement is palpable ahead of the teaser launch at a massive event across two cities on February 11. Slated for global screens on April 10, 2026, this film could redefine historical dramas in Indian cinema.
