Paurashpur is a dynasty that dictates women's freedom. A kingdom where the laws are so archaic, that the women are disallowed from making decisions regarding their bodies, without the men in their lives. An extraordinary kingdom with stories both bold & brutal, the sexes battle it out amidst royal betrayals, double standards, gender politics & a decision that questions an entire kingdom's social fabric.

Every character has been detailed so beautifully and cast so perfectly that I think everything has kind of come together for the show. I am really excited.` Speaking on the show, Anantvijay Joshi says, "This is my first big ensemble and period drama. When it came to me for the first time, I said no because of my sheer nervousness. I thought I won't be able to do this. We have been watching mythological characters from the period drama with a certain body structure and body type, so I thought they are making mistake by getting me on board. Since I have worked with the same creative team before, I was frank enough to say this to them, but thankfully the show happened, and I am so happy with the way it has come out.`

An excited Poulomi Das said, "It's one of my first magnum opus shows and also my first costume drama, so it means a lot. I am at a loss for words about my feelings right now.
