'Swarna Khadgam', the series aired on ETV, is perhaps the most visually-spectacular fantasy TV drama. Brought to the viewers by Arka Mediaworks and Eenadu, it's South Indian television’s biggest production ever.

A promo released on Saturday sees Sanjjanaa Galrani, the period adventure's heroine, delivering a monologue packing a punch. The actress is looking confident in the epic-style costumes, ready to make a mark in the small-screen world. So far, the feedback to her performance in the serial is encouraging.

The majestically titled serial is being aired at a time when the genre is most wanted. "One of the most popular and loved storytelling genres, folklore, that told tales of Indian culture and mythology has dwindled and disappeared from television," say the makers.

Interestingly, 'Swarna Khadgam' is not set in a specific kingdom. "It's set in kingdoms across regions, and various realms of the Universe," the makers say.
