Adnan Khan gets candid about his sword fighting and martial arts training for COLORS’ ‘Pracchand Ashok’

COLORS' 'Pracchand Ashok' reigns supreme, capturing the hearts and minds of viewers with its majestic love story of the legendary Samrat Ashok and Princess Kaurwaki. The historical romance tells the tale of the princess seeking a suitor with a heart as pure as gold, while Samrat Ashok stands as a formidable conqueror, relentless in his pursuit of power. Adnan Khan, the versatile actor embodying the iconic role of Samrat Ashok, has seized the spotlight with his commanding performance. Paired with the talented Mallika Singh, who breathes life into the role of Princess Kaurwaki, the actor casts a spell upon audiences, leaving them clamouring for more. He reveals that as part of his preparation for the role of Samrat Ashok, he learnt martial arts and sword fighting that helped him perfect action sequences in the magnum opus show.

Adnan Khan says, “The martial arts training has certainly been beneficial as it enhances flexibility. However, I believe that for this role, the sword fighting classes I undertook were even more crucial. We often watch films and admire sword fighting sequences, wishing we could do the same. But once you hold a sword, your body doesn't respond the way you expect it to. So, these classes were invaluable in helping me develop the style of an emperor.
