mythological
love
story
between

and
Dushyanta,
written
by
Kalidasa.
Their
love
story

talked

and
the
attire

Shaakuntala
was
one
of
the
regular
features
at
any
school’s
fancy
dress
competition.
Such
is
the

is
heavily
based
on.

a
fan
of
mythology
and
history.
He
makes
sure
to
take
his
creative
thought
process
back
in
time
and
make
epic
historical
movies.
His
films
scream
luxurious
backdrops,
humongous
sets
and
brilliant
costumes.
With
Shaakuntalam
too,
one
can
expect
him
to
spin
his
magic
again.
