The first season of Maharani focused squarely on Huma Qureshi’s Rani Bharti, a home-maker who is thrust into the seat of power after her chief minister-husband Bhima Bharti—essayed by Sohum Shah—takes ill. In the second edition, Shah promises the audience will see much more of him as his character returns to reclaim his position. “In season one, they have just shown Bhima, but in the second instalment, you will get to see his several emotions. He was uni-dimensional in season one. But now, he is more complex and layered. As an actor, it’s an opportunity of a lifetime to portray a role like this,” says the actor.
