Nandamuri Kalyan Ram’s Surprise: Bimbisara 2 Announced as a Prequel

Nandamuri Kalyan Ram’s surprise announcement of “Bimbisara 2” has generated considerable buzz. His 2022 film “Bimbisara” defied expectations, becoming a commercial success with a compelling story, engaging screenplay, and impressive visuals, all achieved on a modest budget.

Fans initially anticipated that Vassishta, the director of “Bimbisara,” would return for the sequel. However, due to his commitment to “Vishwambhara,” the baton has been passed to Anil Paduri.

The unveiling of the “Bimbisara 2” concept poster on Kalyan Ram’s birthday has fueled excitement. The poster, featuring a majestic elephant army, hints at a grand production value. Further amplifying expectations, the tagline “Get ready to witness the virtue of a legend who ruled Trigarthala ages before Bimbisara” suggests a prequel rather than a direct sequel.

The film is currently in pre-production, aiming for high technical standards. Shooting will commence once Kalyan Ram completes his ongoing project, “#NKR21.” This upcoming film, directed by Pradeep Chilukuri, boasts a star-studded cast including Vijayashanti, Sohel Khan, Saiee Manjrekar, and Srikanth.

With the fantasy genre finding favor with audiences, “Bimbisara 2” has the potential to recapture the magic of the first film. The prequel format promises a fresh exploration of the established world, leaving audiences eager to witness the legend who ruled Trigarthala before Bimbisara.
