performer: Last News

Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief It is close to a decade since “Baahubali – The Beginning” shifted the paradigm for how a South Indian film should have been made and might normally have performed – the Telugu and Tamil-language fantasy actioner achieved nationwide distribution, broke records for international performance, supercharged the stardom of its leads and, naturally, sparked a sequel – but its producer Shobu Yarlagadda and his Arka Mediaworks are now thinking on an even grander, international scale. Yarlagadda is using the platform of this week’s Film Bazaar in Goa to test the market for his upcoming, upscale TV show “The Age of Deccan.” He pitches it as boasting “a protagonist of African origin and a world set in medieval India, that thematically unites two continents and makes it a compelling Indian original series destined for a global audience.” “The Age of Deccan” will focus on the reality and brutality of the history, exploring these through: war, politics, vice, vengeance and sex; the protocols and hierarchies of the royal court; strategies and measures of medieval warfare; indulgence and abuse of ultimate power; territorial pride and assimilation.” The fact-based story tracks Ambar, a man of African origin who was trafficked as a slave to India in the early 16th century. He managed to pull himself out of serfdom first as a fighter, then as a military strategist and later as a government minister who sought to push back the Mughal influence and unify Deccan India.
