Bimbisara
'Bimbisara', featuring Nandamuri Kalyan Ram in the lead, begins in the year 500 B.C when Bimbisara (Kalyan Ram) is the emperor of the Trigartala empire. A vile egomaniac, his violent antics have no limits. However, his ego trip ends when his banished twin brother Devadatta ambushes him and teleports him - through a magical mirror - to the present-day world. What happens when this authoritarian king is reincarnated as a suit wearing rich man in a modern-day world?
Bimbisara's arrival favours Subramanya Sastri (Vivan Bhatena) and godman Kethu (Ayyappa P. Sharma), who have their eyes set on an Ayurveda book titled Dhanwanthari which is safely locked in Bimbisara's treasure vault, which only he can open.
With opulence and ferocity in virtually every frame of the film, 'Bimbisara' is enhanced by uncompromising action, its striking camera work, and impressive visual effects.
