Sharing his excitement about making this series, Nikkhil told Mirror, “I have always been fascinated by the Moghul era, its politics and the lives of the emperors, so when the channel came to me with the adaptation rights to the book, I was happy to come on board. The first season will revolve around Babur, his obsession with the city of Samarkand and his rule in Kabul before he came to Hindustan.”

Both Shabana and Dia Mirza are happy about being a part of this project, with Dia looking forward to work and learn from the veteran actress. The report also stated that the show’s screenplay is being written by Bhavani Iyer, while lyricist Kausar Munir will be writing its dialogues.

The shooting of the show has already begun. After completing the Jaipur schedule, the team is reportedly shooting in Karjat currently.
