And the stunts have been orchestrated by ace Bollywood action director, Tinu Verma. With the extravagance promised, the show has already created significant excitement amongst the lovers of mythological drama.

Speaking on the digital premiere of the show, Uday Sodhi - EVP and Digital head, Sony Entertainment commented, “After the success of ‘Sankat Mochan Mahabali Hanumaan’, we realized the kind of enthusiasm that exists amongst netizens for period dramas with elaborate visuals, mythical narratives and state-of-the-art special effects.
