The poster of a new upcoming web series, “Vikram Betal Aur Narpishachini,” by mythology and fantasy writer Shrikant Vishwakarma, has been officially launched. As soon as the poster was released, it went viral on the internet because a story of this kind based on Vikram and Betal has never been seen or discussed before in the way that writer Shrikant Vishwakarma has envisioned and written it.
Talking about the classic Vikram Betal that was telecast on television around 30 years ago, that story was based on the tales written by Somdev Bhatt in the 11th century. The television adaptation was produced by the late Prem Sagar, son of the legendary Ramanand Sagar.
Mythology-fantasy Writer Shrikant Vishwakarma has also worked with the late Prem Sagar and wrote the story and screenplay for projects such as Gaumata Kamdhenu and Kaakbhushandi Ramayan.
Everyone is familiar with the original Vikram Betal stories, which consisted of 25 tales. In those stories, King Vikram of Ujjaini repeatedly goes in search of Betal and captures him. Once Vikram catches Betal, Betal begins narrating stories to him. At the end of each story, Betal compels Vikram to answer a riddle related to the tale. Whenever Vikram gives the correct answer, Betal escapes once again, forcing Vikram to chase and capture him all over again.
However, the Vikram Betal Aur Nar Pishachini created by renowned mythology and fantasy writer Shrikant Vishwakarma is completely different from the traditional version. The title itself reveals that this is not the old Vikram Betal story. Its name is “Vikram Betal Aur Narpishachini.”
What exactly this web series or film contains, and how it presents a fresh and unique take on the legendary tale, will only be revealed after its release. For now, the audience is eagerly waiting for its first promo. Perhaps the upcoming promo of “Vikram Betal Aur Narpishachini” will provide some clues about the story and its intriguing new world. Until then, viewers will have to wait patiently for this special and highly anticipated web series.
This web series is being jointly produced by Bilra Studio and Collective Artists Network. What makes this project even more exciting is that such prominent studios have come together to bring this story to life. When production houses of this scale and reputation are involved in a project, it naturally raises expectations and suggests that the series is likely to be of a very high quality.
