Friday Talkies Forges New Paths: Ankita Kukreti to be Launched in Groundbreaking Chola Empire Film

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], June 5: Friday Talkies Motion Picture Pty Ltd (Australia), a production house acclaimed for its diverse cinematic ventures, is proud to announce its boldest project to date: a groundbreaking historical socio-fantasy film chronicling the legendary maritime expeditions of the 10th-century Chola Empire under Rajendra Chola I. This epic narrative ventures into uncharted waters, imagining a lost Chola ship's unexpected arrival in Australia's Cape York Peninsula, leading to the establishment of a remote outpost and exploring fascinating, untold ancient global connections. Set across a sweeping timeline from the 12th to the 17th centuries, this film is set to be Friday Talkies' first official Indian-Australian co-production, building on their successful track record with films like the Telugu hit Operation Gold Fish and the Australian indie Double or Nothing.
