"Bihar is not a state, it's a state of mind." So begins the trailer of actor Huma Qureshi's latest web series, Maharani. Besides Huma, the show, which is created by Subhash Kapoor, also features Vineet Kumar and Amit Sial. Huma plays the role of the wife of a former chief minister who is forced to take up her husband's post against her wishes. While the makers have not said it outright, the fact that the story begins with Huma forced to become CM of Bihar, makes it evident that her character is modelled on Rabri Devi, wife of RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav. Rabri Devi took up her husband's post after he was charged with corruption.
"Maharani Trailer !! A political drama set in the ’90’s where among the traditional satraps there was an emerging voice.. how will an illiterate woman survive this?" The actress wrote in her caption as she posted the trailer on Instagram. The show streams on a leading OTT platform on the 28th of May and is directed by Karan Sharma.
