Mumbai, 18th April 2025: Panorama
Studios, in collaboration with Monkey God Entertainment, Summit Studios, and
Eka Entertainment, proudly announces Maharani, an upcoming Gujarati
social comedy that brings together the creative forces behind some of India’s
most memorable cinema.
Set in a bustling urban backdrop,
Maharani is a light-hearted yet poignant social comedy that explores the
chaotic balance between work, home, and unexpected relationships. At its heart
is the love-hate bond between a spirited working mom and her ever-unpredictable
house help, capturing the everyday drama, laughter, and heartwarming moments
that shape modern urban life.
With eight National Award-winning
talents collaborating behind the scenes, Maharani is a celebration of
culture, community, and the irreplaceable bonds that define us.
Director Viral Shah shares, "
With Maharani, I wanted to explore the emotional fabric of a modern urban
household—through wit, warmth, and everyday chaos. The story draws from the
quiet strength of unexpected bonds, especially between two women from different
worlds whose lives intertwine in surprising ways. Collaborating with passionate
producers, Panorama Studios, Monkey God Entertainment and Summit Studios, has been
creatively energizing, and I’m excited to bring this honest and humorous
narrative to life."
Producers Kumar Mangat Pathak &
Abhishek Pathak, Panorama Studios, add,
"We’ve
always believed in championing strong, rooted stories—across languages and regions.
Maharani is a testament to the exciting evolution of Gujarati cinema, and we’re
proud to collaborate with an exceptional team that brings both authenticity and
creativity to the table. Regional cinema today is breaking boundaries and
connecting with wider audiences, and Maharani fits perfectly into that vision.
At Panorama, whether it’s Pyaar Ka Punchnama, Drishyam or Shaitaan, our goal
has always been to deliver content that resonates—and this film is yet another
bold step in that direction."
Producers Pritesh Thakkar and Madhu
Sharma share, " From the very beginning, Maharani stood out as
a story with both heart and humour—a slice-of-life narrative that feels
universal. It’s a film that entertains while offering a deeper look at the
dynamics of everyday relationships. And having a National Award-winning
director like Viral Shah at the helm is a true boon—his vision and sensitivity
have elevated the narrative beautifully. To top it off, the collaboration with
Panorama Studios has been both creatively fulfilling and strategically aligned,
ensuring that Maharani is not only made with sincerity but also positioned to
reach the wide audience it deserves."
The film boasts a powerhouse ensemble
cast including Manasi Parekh, Shraddha Dangar, Ojas Rawal, and Sanjay Goradia.
It is written by acclaimed writers Raam Mori and Hardik Sangani, with music
composed by the talented Parth Bharat Thakkar.
Produced by Kumar Mangat Pathak,
Abhishek Pathak, Pritesh Thakkar, Madhu Sharma, and Viral Shah, and co-produced
by Murlidhar Chhatwani, Chandresh Bhanushali, Suchin Ahluwalia, and Masumeh
Makhija, Maharani promises to be a refreshing addition to regional
Indian cinema. The film is directed by Viral Shah, whose previous directorial
ventures, Kutch Express and Golkeri, have been both critically
acclaimed and audience favourites.
With its unique blend of humour and
social insight, Maharani promises to entertain while shining a light on
compelling themes rooted in everyday life. Stay tuned for a delightful
cinematic experience like no other.
