Written and directed by Santosh Sivan, Aśoka also starred Tamil actor Ajith Kumar, Hrishita Bhatt, and Danny Denzongpa in supporting roles.

The soundtrack of Aśoka was composed by Anu Malik and was very successful. One of the songs from the film, “San Sanana” sung by Alka Yagnik is fondly remembered and played till today.

Aśoka was based of the life of emperor Asoka of the Maurya dynasty, who ruled most of South Asia in third century BCE. The film was widely screened across the United Kingdom and North America, and was also selected for screening at the Venice Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival.
