Danish Khan, Executive Vice President, and
Business Head, Sony Entertainment Television:
“India is one of the oldest civilizations in the
world, it has a rich legacy of literature, philosophy, culture, stories and
heroes. We at SET believe it is important to revisit our glorious past, it is
relevant to understand the value system of a civilization that has not just
survived but has prospered, we believe the stories of our past heroes will
inspire our future generations. We believe it is time for the world to know and
appreciate the richness of Indian civilization. Porus is an attempt to bring
that glory, those heroes on our television screen in India and across the
globe. We are delighted to partner with a creative visionary Siddharth Tewary,
who has done an outstanding job to bring Porus alive on television.”
Siddharth Kumar Tewary, Founder and Chief
Creative, Swastik Productions:
“Porus will not only tell a tale of ancient
India’s history – an untold story of two legendary warriors of all-time and
their epic battle, but will also go down in history as one of the most epic
television show. We have always believed in creating content that we strongly
believe in. A content that is rich, uncharted and world-class. Our shows
reflect our passion, creativity and hard work and every time we weave in a new
story, we make it a point to go several notches up from our previous creations.
For Porus, we spent a lot of time of pre-production, diction, training and
recreating the golden era. A lot is riding on us given that we own 100%
of IPR of Porus, a first in the history of Indian television. We are grateful
to Sony Entertainment Television for backing us in taking this big bold step.”
