Amrapali was an Indian historical drama TV serial, directed by Ravi Kemmu in 2002. It was a big-budget (Rs 100 million) story depicting the world of around 600 B.C. The serial was broadcast on the Doordarshan National Network every Sunday at 11am, starting on 30 June 2002. The story's central character was a young woman, Amrapali, who was made the property of the state and elevated to a high position but forced into entertaining men. Kemmu said at a press meeting that very little information is available about Amrapali, and her history is only known through the Jataka tales. ''Amrapali'' was originally conceptualised as a serial of 104 parts. It called for a cast of 39 supported by a 500-strong crowd, 25 horses, several elephants, and 25 security personnel to guard a set that cost Rs 40 million. The series was also dubbed into other languages for showing in South India and other parts. However, in late 2002, the serial was discontinued much before its original completion date because of low audience ratings (TRP measurements). ==Personnel== The lead role of Amrapali was played by Shilpa Shinde. Her name was recommended by her brother, who was working with Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd. Shilpa Shinde opted out of the show in October 2002 due to remuneration differences with the producer, after shooting 22 episodes of the serial. She was then replaced by Pooja Bharti.〔()〕 The serial was made by DVR Films, presented by L.R. Enterprises, researched by Bodhi Satva, written by B.M. Vyas, and produced by Dhillin Mehta and D. Venkateshwar Rao. Before the serial went on air, the originally nominated director Vijay Pande was replaced with Ravi Kemmu. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amrapali (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
