What happens
The Rise of Ashoka is a 2026 Indian Kannada-language period action drama film directed by Vinod V Dhondale, written by Dayanand T. K and produced by Vardhan Hari and Sathish Ninasam. Featuring Sathish Ninasam, Sapthami Gowda and B. Suresha in lead roles, the film also stars Sampath Maithreya, Gopalkrishna Deshpande, Yash Shetty, P. Ravi Shankar, and Jagappa in the supporting roles. The film, earlier titled as Ashoka Blade, took considerable time in its making since the director Vinod Dhondale passed away during the production. Editor Manu Shedgar stepped in to helm the project and completed the remaining portions. It was officially released in theatres on 23 January 2026 along with its Tamil and Telugu versions.
