Anirudh Pathak’s Adi Shankaracharya goes on floors

MUMBAI: Acclaimed writer Anirudh Pathak has penned scripts for many popular TV shows like Devon Ke Dev Mahadev, Siya Ke Ram, and Mahakumbh.

He added another feather to his cap by turning producer. He has produced popular and big-budget shows such as Prithvi Vallabh on Sony TV, Chandrashekhar on Star Bharat, and Dastaan-E-Mohabbat Salim Anarkali on Colors under his banner Writer's Galaxy Studios.

Anirudh is bringing a series on the lives of Adi Shankaracharya who was an Indian philosopher and theologian who consolidated the doctrine of Advaita Vedanta.

The series will most likely star noted Bollywood actor Rajit Kapur reprising the lead role of Shankaracharya. The series is slated to launch on one of the leading OTT platforms Hotstar.

The project has been in the pipeline for quite sometime now. However, we hear that finally the project is on floor and apparently the cast is expected to shoot some parts in beautiful locales of Kerala.

We couldn’t get through Mr Pathak for a comment.
