A magnum opus with stunning visuals, grandeur, scale, brilliant star cast, and powerful dialogues, the two platforms have recently added to the excitement by unveiling the trailer of the much-awaited series featuring a stellar cast comprising of Annu Kapoor, Milind Soman, Shilpa Shinde, Shaheer Sheikh, Sahil Salathia, Poulomi Das, Anantvijay Joshi, Flora Saini, and Aditya Lal among others.

Shot against the backdrop of 16th century India, in the world of Paurashpur where legendary actor Annu Kapoor as Raja Bhadrapratap Singh, rules the extremely misogynistic kingdom. A kingdom, where women are objectified for desire and treated like a man's property. A toxic dynasty, that dictates women's freedom, where the laws are so archaic that the women are disallowed from making decisions regarding their own bodies without the men in their lives. The beautiful Shilpa Shinde (Queen Meerawati) challenges the male-dominated laws in the kingdom, where women are objectified for desire and treated like a man's property.

Milind Soman as a third gender Boris questions the rules of the kingdom and is also the one who starts the revolution. Sahil Salathia as Bhanu, Shaheer Sheikh as Veer Singh, Poulomi Das as Kala, Anantvijay Joshi as Prince Aditya, add to the twists and turns of the bold and brutal stories of the Paurashpur Kingdom. The trailer ends on an interesting note that sets the tone for a revolution, as actor Shaheer Sheikh as Veer Singh proclaims, “Paurashpur girega… aur humara pyaar usey girayega”.

Shilpa Shinde says, “I think most of the actors are always on the outlook for a show like Paurashpur. Besides portraying an ambitious character of a Queen, the show touches upon a lot of serious issues like male patriarchy, gender politics, power, etc., which used to exist even in those days. I am delighted to be a part of an interesting show shot on such a grand scale. Hope you guys have as much fun as we had while shooting it. You don’t want to miss this one for sure”.

Milind Soman shares, “I like working on interesting and challenging fictional characters, as it allows me to explore a new world every time. I am happy that so many people have appreciated the look of my character, and I hope they love the show too! The entire team has worked hard to create something that the audience is going to experience for the first time from an Indian production.”

The show is all set to premiere on 29th December 2020.

Teaser Review: 'Paurashpur' Has The Battle of Genders in a 'Controversial World'

Looking at the array of images, looks and revelations of actors and their characters so far, we knew we are coming in the royal world of an autocratic king and some interesting characters that lead their way into this. What we did not expect was the exposure and concept of the show that is only revealed in the teaser trailer.

With an array of shows coming in, Alt Balaji hasn't had a mega show in terms of scale and anticipation for a while. But that was indeed satisfied when Paurashpur was announced. Starring a dream ensemble cast with Annu Kapoor, Shilpa Shinde, Shaheer Sheikh, Milind Soman, Poulomi Das and others, the excitement was instant.

Now that the teaser trailer is indeed out, the certain thing we would like to say is - unexpected. Looking at the array of images, looks and revelations of actors and their characters so far, we knew we are coming in the royal world of an autocratic king and some interesting characters that lead their way into this. What we did not expect was the exposure and concept of the show that is only revealed in the teaser trailer.

A ***ist, lustful and autocratic king (Annu Kapoor) literally uses woman at his will and is unapologetic about it, while Queen Meerawati (Shilpa Shinde) has her own ways of trying to break this norm. Boris (Milind Soman) plays a third gender in this world fighting for equal rights while Veer (Shaheer Sheikh) is entering this complicated world unaware about it but soon involved in it.

The 'unexpected' factor watching the teaser of Paurashpur is actually a pleasant one. Whenever you think of a royal drama, there are obvious cliches that come with it and the scope of it is rather limited especially in Indian representation so far.

However, with Paurashpur, several barriers are broken where lust, gender equality, tyranny, and of course, scheming is all played around with interesting and 'colorful' characters. The teaser trailer certainly sets you up in the right manner and we certainly cannot wait to see the show soon.
