Ashwin Gangaraju To Helm Magnum Opus 1770

1770 will be helmed by acclaimed director Ashwin Gangaraju, who assisted SS Rajamouli in Eega and Baahubali (both series). He made his debut as a director with critically acclaimed Aakashvani in 2021. This year also marks 150 years of Vande Mataram, the song that appeared first in Bankim Chandra's novel Anandamath, which almost shook the roots of the British Empire.
