Gurmeet Choudhary: It is challenging to portray a strong character like Maharana Pratap

In Maharana, the upcoming series, actor Gurmeet Choudhary will play the lead role of legendary Rajput warrior king Maharana Pratap. 

Speaking about his role, Gurmeet said, "It's an honour to work on a project that is connected to the roots of India. Maharana Pratap was known for his courage and bravery, I am very happy to get a chance to know more about his life. It is also a challenge to portray a strong character like Maharana Pratap himself." It may be noted that Maharana Pratap was a Shiva devotee who belonged to the Sisodia dynasty and resisted the expansion of the Mughal Empire under king Akbar.

The period drama series also has Ridhima Pandit essaying the role of Maharani Ajabde. She said, "I am elated to be a part of a vision and script like Maharana. Depicting the strong and resilient character of Maharani Ajabde is indeed a challenge. Working on a project of this scale with some of the brilliant minds from our industry such as Nitin Desai is a dream come true."

Produced by Trimitik Production Pvt Ltd and showrunner Nitin Chandrakant Desai, Maharana will premiere on Disney+ Hotstar.
