Huma Qureshi reigns supreme in Maharani 3 teaser

The makers of Huma Qureshi-starrer political series Maharani on Tuesday unveiled the teaser of Season 3, and it features the return of Rani Bharti with a powerful narrative wielding the weapon of education.

The one-minute-seven seconds teaser features Huma’s character Rani Bharti clearing the intermediate examinations. She gets sweets distributed in the prison.

In the teaser, Rani is saying, “Even as a school dropout, I gave all of you a tough time. Once I graduate, what will happen to all of you?”

The show stars Huma as Rani, wife of Bihar’s Chief Minister Bheema Bharti (played by Sohum Shah) character. It is partly inspired by several incidents that happened in Bihar in the 1990s when Lalu Prasad, who had to resign as Chief Minister after he was arrested in the fodder scam, announced his homemaker wife Rabri Devi as his successor and got it endorsed by some 60 party legislators.

The story of season one is from 1995 to 1999 and is inspired by real-life events and characters like Ranvir Sena, left-wing extremism, Fodder Scam etc.

Maharani 3 is produced by Naren Kumar and Dimple Kharbanda, created by Subhash Kapoor, and directed by Saurabh Bhave.

The gripping storyline, penned by Subhash Kapoor and Nandan Singh, features Huma Qureshi, Amit Sial, Vineet Kumar, Pramod Pathak, Kani Kusruti, Anuja Sathe, Sushil Pandey, Dibyendu Bhattacharya, and Sohum Shah in pivotal roles.

It will soon stream on Sony LIV.
