It also starred Shardul Bharadwaj, Amit Sial, Shweta Basu Prasad, Sohum Shah, Pramod Pathak, Vineet Kumar, Kani Kusruti, Vineet Singh, Anuja Sathe, Dibyendu Bhattacharya, and Sushil Pandey. Apart from Huma, the actors expected to come back for the fifth season are Shardul Bharadwaj, Kani Kusruti, Vineet Kumar, and Pramod Pathak.
“Following four acclaimed seasons of political intrigue, compelling performances and edge-of-the-seat storytelling, Maharani Season 5 is set to carry Rani Bharti’s legacy forward. As filming begins, we look forward to seeing Huma Qureshi reprise one of the most celebrated characters in the Indian streaming space,” Sony LIV shared.
