NBK’s Gautamiputra Satakarni – A Biographical film

Gautamiputra Satakarni History (78-102 A.D.)? – A Brief Historical Facts:

Gautamiputra Satakarni was one of the magnificent Emperors of the ancient India and the greatest amongst all Satavahana Dynasty rulers. He was the son of Sivasvati Satakarni and Gautami Balasri. His achievements and personalities were revealed from the Nasik carving of Balasri.

At the time of his Power, the situation was very dismal for the Satavahanas. In such a forbidding situation, Satakarni did not lose heart. He aroused to the situation and demolished the Sakas, Yavanas and Phalavas. He has eradicated the Ksatrapa dynasty of Nahapana and renewed the glory of the Satavahana family.

He has got a title like ‘Thrisamudra Toya Pitavahabna’ (one whose horses drink waters of three oceans), suggests the fact that his armies had tapped the Bay of Bengal, the Arabian Sea, and the Indian Ocean.

As per the Puranas (history), Satavahanas used to ride on “LION” and they showed love towards it. Some of the depictions even show that they have worshiped “Simhastha” Lion goddesses.

Heroine Shriya Saran plays the lead role as the wife (Queen Vashisti) of Gautamiputra Satakarni.

Although rumors revolved around many names including Anushka Shetty of “Bahubali” fame and Nayanatara, that is Shriya Saran who got the positive nod.
