Ashwathama,
the
upcoming
movie
which
features
Naga
Shaurya
and
Mehreen
Pirzada
in
the
lead
roles,
is
reportedly
based
on
a
real-life
incident.
Lead
actress
Mehreen
revealed
the
interesting
trivia
in
a
recent
interview.
According
to
the
actress,
Ashwathama
is
based
on
an
incident
that
happened
in
the
life
of
Naga
Shaurya's
close
friend.
Mehreen
stated
that
the
Naga
Shaurya
starrer
deals
with
a
universal
subject,
which
connects
with
all
types
of
audiences.
It
was
the
lead
actor
who
suggested
that
a
Telugu
movie
should
be
made
based
on
this
particular
incident
when
he
first
heard
about
it.
Naga
Shaurya
feels
that
the
topic
will
reach
a
larger
group
of
audience
if
it
is
made
in
Telugu.
Reportedly,
Ashwathama
deals
with
several
socially-relevant
topics
including
the
safety
of
women
in
our
country.
If
the
reports
are
to
be
believed,
several
changes
were
made
in
the
screenplay
of
the
movie,
after
the
infamous
Hyderabad
veterinarian
rape
case
happened
and
the
four
accused
were
encountered
by
the
investigation
team.
Ashwathama
is
a
crucial
project
for
Naga
Shaurya,
who
has
been
going
through
a
low
phase
in
his
professional
life
with
the
consecutive
box
office
failures.
The
actor
is
playing
an
action
hero
for
the
first
time
in
his
career
in
the
movie,
which
is
directed
by
newcomer
Raman
Teja.
Interestingly,
Naga
Shaurya
has
also
opted
for
a
drastic
makeover
for
his
character
in
the
movie.
The
actor,
who
is
all
set
to
shed
his
boy-next-door
image
with
Ashwathama,
has
apparently
got
real
tattoos
in
his
chest
for
the
perfection
of
his
role.
Mehreen
Pirzada,
the
leading
lady
too
is
said
to
be
playing
a
performance-oriented
role
in
the
movie.
Sargun
Kaur
Luthra,
the
popular
Hindi
television
actress
essays
a
key
role
in
the
movie,
which
features
Prince
Cecil
and
Krishna
Murali
in
the
supporting
roles.
Ashwathama
is
slated
to
hit
the
theatres
on
January
31,
Friday.
