Akshay Khanna played the role of Shukracharya In this large scale in the film. It was seen in a striking new avatar, he for the first time donates the striking saint personality of a revered guru on the screen.
A flowing silver beard, ascetic clothing, and shiny eyes that pierce through the darkness are a symbol of a mystic, whose intellect equally shaped the destiny of the gods and demons. The master of Sanatan Vidya and the Gupta Mirita-Sivali Mantra is known as the protector of the mantra, the power to restore life-this depiction of his duality: spiritual guides and indomitable strategists who can change the cosmic balance.
The striking view develops the famous essence of Shukracharya, a revered guru of Asuras, in Hindu mythology, standing before a huge mountain fort, surrounded by rocks. Under a storm -filled sky, with flames from ancient altars, this figure radiates both a careful peace and uncontrolled power.
