Veteran actor Prakash Raj has come out strongly against the ban on  Abir Gulaal , a romantic drama featuring Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor. In a candid interview with  The Lallantop , Raj emphasized that no film—regardless of its political leaning or message—should be banned unless it contains illegal content such as pornography or child abuse. “I don’t support the banning of any film, whether it’s right-wing or propaganda. It’s the audience’s right to decide. Let the people choose what they want to watch,” he said. Citing examples like  Padmaavat  (2018),  Pathaan  (2023), and  L2: Empuraan , Raj highlighted how easily public outrage is sparked today, often leading to threats and intimidation. Referring to the controversy around Deepika Padukone’s costume in  Pathaan  and threats made during the release of  Padmaavat , he remarked, “People threaten to behead or harm actors over creative choices—what kind of message does that send?” Raj cr...

“Working on Maharani season two has been an exhilarating experience. I hope the audience will love the music as much as Huma Qureshi, Sohum Shah and Producer Subhash Kapoor.” - music composer Rohit Sharma.

 


After the enormous success of Maharani Season 1, which received an overwhelming response from the viewers, the much-awaited Maharani Season 2 is finally here. Starring actors Huma Qureshi and Sohum Shah, Maharani Season 2 is a political drama. Directed by Ravindra Gautam, written by Umashankar Singh & Nandan Singh and created by Subhash Kapoor, the web series is soon set to release on streaming platform SonyLIV, in which all songs have been composed and produced by Rohit Sharma. The teaser for the show was released on 16th July and has caused a lot of anticipatory excitement in the audience.

Sharing his experience of working on this series, music composer Rohit Sharma says, “It has been an exhilarating experience. Season two did bring up some challenges but I had a great time composing the tracks for this show. There are a total of 7 songs in this series, and I hope that they are well-received by the audience as they were by Huma Qureshi, Sohum Shah and producer Subhash Kapoor. Immensely grateful to Subhash Kapoor sir for supporting and guiding me all through the series, and also to Dr. Sagar (lyricist) for the beautiful lines penned by him. Sincerely hoping that the audience will connect with, and cherish the music just as they have done in the past, with my earlier work.”

Rohit Sharma has always received wide acclaim for his music. Be it “The Kashmir Files” or “Ship of Theseus”, his compositions have long been known to form an emotional connect with the audience. His versatility comes through in his various projects, such as in “Anaarkali of Arrah” where he showcased remarkable talent in the folk genre, which went on to bag him the Best Music Director award at the Jagran Film Festival. Besides these films, the music director also has other successful titles to his name such as “The Tashkent Files”, “Buddha in a Traffic Jam” and the recent award-winning web series, “TVF - Aspirants”.

At present, he is busy working on three films, one of which stars Rinku Rajguru of Sairat fame, and has been written and directed by Ram Mahindra, a young and dynamic director from Chennai.

With such a talented team & cast, Maharani Season 2 looks promising for sure - watch out for it soon on SonyLIV!

We would not have the comforts that we take for granted like a shelter from the elements, clean running water, or even the ability to read this article, without the effort of engineers. Hindustan Zinc is especially aware of the need it has for engineers – without engineers and their effort, the materials that Hindustan Zinc extracts from its mines would not be as easily extracted and refined from its deposits.
