Idk anything about Ashawathama.
After reading about the movie story here, I feel more strongly that Ramcharan should have played Prabhas role in place of Prabhas.Or Even Karna role suits him very well or even Arjuna role suits him very well looking at the character he played in Maghadheera.Ramcharan simply nailed it in Maghadheera especially in the scene where he won over 100 people attacking him.I can easily imagine Ramcharan playing some powerful mythological role related to war and stuff!
I hope they take Ramcharan as Kalki in Kalki part-2.
Ashwathama is Guru Drona's son, an ally of Duryodhana or Kauravas.
Drona and his wife Kripi, were devotees of Shiva and asked him for a son just like him(Shiva) in valour
Shivji granted the boon and hence Ashwathama was born with a gem on head(Shivmani).
The gem made him powerful, invincible and immune to diseases.
Now on the last day of war Kauravas were defeated and Duryodhana wad dying. Ashwathama decided to avenge the death of his friend and father by killing Pandavas.
He went there in the night and killed 5 brothers sleeping together, thinking them as Pandavas, but they actually were Up pandavas, sons of Draupadi.
Also it was against the rule of war to attack at night.
Arjun, Krishna went with Bheem for revenge, Ashwathama used Brahmstra against them ,in reply , Arjun did the same.
Krishna intervention led Arjun to call back Brahmstra but Ashwathama didn't know how to do that so he changed the route towards Uttara's womb(Abhimanyu's wife, Arjun's daughter in law)
Krishna saved the unborn child and Uttara but cursed Ashwathama to live forever and took his gem(So he will not be immune to diseases and powerful ).
Ashwathama is among 7 Chiranjeevi, who are waiting for Kalki avtaar for Vishnu to bless the Earth.
