New Delhi: The world of Huma Qureshi’s Maharani is set to expand, with actor Shweta Basu Prasad joining the cast for the upcoming fourth season of the gripping political drama.
Confirmed by the makers, Shweta will share screen space with Qureshi in Maharani Season 4, bringing a bold new dynamic to a narrative already brimming with power plays, betrayals, and intense political rivalries.
While Huma returns as the iconic Rani Bharti, details about Shweta’s character are being kept tightly under wraps, only adding to the anticipation for the next chapter in the critically acclaimed series.
The actress expressed her excitement about being part of the acclaimed series, calling it an “honour” to collaborate with such a powerful ensemble.
Shweta’s inclusion adds another layer of talent to the gripping series, which has consistently earned praise for its strong writing, sharp political commentary, and standout performances- especially Huma Qureshi’s portrayal of Rani Bharti, a homemaker-turned-chief minister.
The fourth instalment of the popular political drama, ‘Maharani 4’, promises to deliver its “most gripping” storyline yet, as Rani Bharti embarks on a high-stakes political journey that takes her from Bihar to the power corridors of Delhi.
Back in August, Huma Qureshi gave fans a sneak peek by sharing photos from the show's London shoot on Instagram.
Seen in her iconic avatar with a modern twist, she effortlessly blends tradition with contemporary flair- teasing an exciting evolution of her character in the upcoming season.
"Maharani takes over London....Season 4 of India's most loved show is loading... Coming Soon," read Huma’s post.
Earlier this year, the official teaser for ‘Maharani Season 4’ was released, showcasing Rani Bharti’s powerful transformation into a fearless political force, fiercely determined to protect what she calls her family, Bihar.
Directed by Puneet Prakash and written by Subhash Kapoor, Nandan Singh and Umashankar Singh, Maharani has become one of India’s most compelling political dramas on OTT. The series streams exclusively on Sony LIV.
