Child actor Kartikey Malviya to play titular role in Chandragupta Maurya
After roping in Tarun Khanna as Chanakya and Sourabh Raaj Jain as Dhana Nanda on 'Porus', the makers of the ongoing show, have now finalised child artiste Kartikey Malviya to play the title role in their next historical, 'Chandragupta Maurya'.
Tewary’s mega-series “Porus” has been sold to over 13 countries, and its culmination will mark the beginning of a new chapter – on “Chandragupta Maurya.”
After massive popularity as Shani, Malviya preps himself for the new show. He shared, “Chandragupta Maurya was a great warrior. He was swift-footed and a skilled swordsman. The moment I was approached to play the part, I started reading up on him, and I am trying very hard to get into the skin of the character. A lot is at stake, and I want to do justice to the role.”
He added, “It is a challenging role, and I will get a lot to learn. But one of my main reasons to do this is Siddharth-sir. I thoroughly enjoy working under his guidance, trust his vision and like him, and I love challenges too.”
