"Bimbisara," a 2022 Indian Telugu-language fantasy action film, takes viewers on a time-travel journey orchestrated by debutant writer-director Mallidi Vassishta and produced by N. T. R. Arts. This tale unfolds in the present and past, with King Bimbisara of the Trigarta Kingdom from the 5th century BC catapulted into modern-day Hyderabad. The film boasts a talented ensemble, featuring Nandamuri Kalyan Ram in a dual role as King Bimbisara and his twin brother, Devadutta, along with Catherine Tresa, Samyuktha Menon, Vivan Bhatena, and Prakash Raj.

The production of "Bimbisara" began in 2020 and concluded in November 2021, albeit hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic. With a budget of ₹40 crore, a significant portion of the film was shot at Ramakrishna Studios in Hyderabad. The musical score, masterfully crafted by M. M. Keeravani and songs composed by Chirrantan Bhatt, adds depth to the narrative.

Upon its release on August 5, 2022, "Bimbisara" garnered critical acclaim and triumphed at the box office. Months later, the film found its digital premiere on ZEE5 on October 21, 2022, continuing to captivate audiences.

The plot follows the saga of King Bimbisara's temporal displacement, intertwined with the aspirations of Dr. Subramanya Shastri in the present day. As Bimbisara grapples with the bewildering modern world, he encounters characters like S.I. Vyjayanthi, Constable Prasadam, and Vishwanandan Varma, who claims to be his descendant, among others. The story unravels against a backdrop of power struggles, treacherous plots, and the quest to unlock Bimbisara's ancient treasure, culminating in a poignant conclusion that reverberates through time.
