Chiranjeevi, Trisha Krishnan, Kunal Kapoor, and Ashika Ranganath star in Vishwambhara, which will be released in theaters this year under the direction of Vassishta. Ever since the movie's announcement, people have been comparing it to Chiranjeevi's 1990 film Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari (JVAS) and the director's prior fantasy picture, Bimbisara. In an interview with Gulte, the director revealed the film's plot while addressing rumors, having kept silent for several months.
The tale of Vishwambhara is revealed
In the interview, Vassishta disclosed that Vishwambhara would take place in one of Hinduism's 14 lokas/lokalu (worlds). "There are 14 lokalu, 7 on top and 7 on the bottom," he stated. Many filmmakers have already created their own representations of other worlds. I made the decision to take things a step further. The location of Vishwambhara is the Satya lokam, which is where Lord Brahma lives. We've previously seen movies that examine Yama lokam and Svarga lokam. I desired to change things up.
He also refuted rumors that the picture had anything to do with JVAS, using examples like NTR's Patala Bhairavi and James Cameron's Avatar. "I watched Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari as a kid, but this film has nothing to do with that. It's also unrelated to Bhairava Dweepam (1994). In every fantasy movie, from Avatar (2009) to Patala Bhairavi (1951), the protagonist will be seeking a missing person or item from another universe. Like how Rama went for Sita, Vishwambhara is all about how the protagonist crosses the lokalu to save the heroine. There is nothing to conceal.
Which are the 14 lokalu?
The Atharvaveda and the Puranas list 14 worlds: seven higher ones (Vyahrtis) and seven lower ones (Pātālas), each inhabited by different deities and creatures. The higher ones include the Earth (Bhu loka), as well as Bhuvar, Svar, Mahar, Jana, Tapa, and Satya. The lower ones include Rasatala, Patala, Atala, Vitala, Sutala, Talatala, and Mahatala lokas.
