Excited to see Rumi Khan as Jaichand! His performance in Gadar 2 was powerful. Hope he does justice to this complex historical figure. Jaichand's role in Prithviraj's story is controversial but important to show. Looking forward to the series! 🇮🇳

Finally a show about our great warrior king! But I hope they don't whitewash Jaichand's betrayal. History should be shown as it was - warts and all. Also curious to see how they portray the Delhi-Kannauj dynamics 🤔

Rumi's description of Jaichand seems too positive. In our history books, he's always shown as the villain who betrayed Prithviraj. Hope the show maintains historical accuracy rather than glorifying everyone for TRPs.

As a history teacher, I'm glad our young generation will learn about these great kings through entertainment. But request makers - please don't distort facts for drama! Our kids already have so many misconceptions about medieval India 😅

Ronit Roy + Rumi Khan combo sounds 🔥! But hope the show focuses more on Prithviraj's military strategies and administration rather than just palace politics. That's what made him truly great!

Waiting to see how they show Sanyogita's swayamvar and the whole love story angle. Hope they don't make it too filmy! Also curious about the costumes and sets - that era had such rich aesthetics ✨
