The round of biopic films and web series in Bollywood is growing rapidly. Now another grand project is going to come in front of the audience – the web series being built on Queen Gayatri Devi. This will be a series showing India’s royal heritage, change and the story of a strong woman.

Recently, during a conversation with Dainik Bhaskar, producer Pranjal Khandadia explained in detail about this Royal web series. Apart from this, he also spoke on his upcoming film ‘Dhak Dhak 2’ and the recently released film ‘Sweet Dreams’.

How did the idea of ​​bringing the story of Maharani Gayatri Devi on screen?

Pranjal Khandadia said that he has always been deeply interested in history, especially in the modern history of India. He said, ‘India has been a colony, which was the rule of foreigners earlier, could not take its own decisions. Its history is mostly written from the British perspective. Educated people used to write in English and the same things became part of books. As a result, the Indian kings were shown in a special image – that they were close to the British, only in Aisho -Aram, did nothing for the public. But the reality was different from this. Nobody becomes a king or queen like this, the love of the public is not found like this.

He further said, ‘Maharani Gayatri Devi was known not only for her royal status, but for her thinking, confidence and decisions. This is not only the story of a royal family, but is the story of a woman who set an example of courage and change.

Four years research, story will be presented in two seasons

Pranjal said that deep research has been done on this project for four years. The Royal Family of Jaipur has given the green signal for this web series and every historical aspect has been deeply searched. We have planned two seasons, there will be 8-8 episodes every season. This will be a very grand and large -level show, as never before in India.

Has any actress finalized for the role of Queen Gayatri Devi?

On this question, Pranjal clarified that the entire team is currently focusing on the script. He told, ‘Bhavani, who is a great writer, is writing screenplays and dialogues of the show. When the script is completed, we will announce casting.

Since this web series will show the story of Maharani Gayatri Devi’s young age to the age of 70 years, it will require multiple casting. One face will be of course, which will be of the lead actress, but there will be a lot in front of her. We are currently considering whether we enter aging effects from computer technology or cast different actresses for different age. ‘

This web series will be the most grand royal show in India

Pranjal Khandhadia claims that it will be India’s most grand royal show ever. He said, ‘It will include stories not only Jaipur, but also Cooch Behar and Baroda, because the family dynasty or the roots of the ancestors were connected to Baroda. The show will also get a glimpse of London and White House. He was friends with Queen Elizabeth and was also called to the White House. Her husband Man Singh was an ambassador of Spain. For such a large level of shows, many locations will have to be shot from Rajasthan forts to London.

How to create balance between facts and creative liberty in biopics?

Pranjal said, ‘It is a big responsibility to make a biopic. I have worked on five biopics so far and understood that there is a fine difference between white washing and presentation of facts. It is wrong to distort history, but it is also necessary to make it interesting.

The story of Maharani Gayatri Devi has got complete freedom from the Royal Family to show the whole truth, grandeur and dignity. The production team has carefully read the interview of historical documents, books and their close people.

,What will be seen in ‘Dhak Dhak 2’?

Pranjal also spoke on the sequel of his film Dhak Dhak. He told, ‘In the first film, four women have come to 1300 km long. It was not just a feminist film, but the male audience also adopted it as an inspirational journey. Now the story will be bigger in the sequel – in the first film she proved herself, now she will illuminate the name of the country.

Dia Mirza, Sanjana Sanghi, Fatima Sana Sheikh and Ratna Pathak Shah will again play the same powerful characters. Shooting will begin from September.

Start and struggle of ‘Sweet Dreams’

Pranjal told that Sweet Dreams started with a dream. He said, ‘We keep running after our dreams, but ignores the happiness of real life. This thinking became the soul of this story. But the path of every dream is not easy. When things started opening after Kovid, we were very excited, but it took 3 years to complete the film.

Initially everyone was very excited, but gradually questions started to arise – will this film be completed or not? But just as every human has his own destiny, so every film also belongs to it. We are happy that Sweet Dreams got its floor and still remains in the top 10 content of OTT.
