Historical dramas need strong female characters, and Rajmata sounds like she'll be exactly that. Hope the writing does justice to Padmini's talent. She deserves a well-written role after all these years.

While I'm happy to see veteran actors getting good roles, I hope the production values match the talent. Recent historical shows have suffered from weak VFX and costumes. Fingers crossed this one delivers!

Interesting casting choice! Padmini Kolhapure playing Ronit Roy's mother? The age difference seems minimal, but if anyone can pull off the gravitas of a Rajmata, it's her. Excited for this fresh pairing.
