Directed by National award winner, Viral Shah, presented by Panorama Studios 'Maharani' is a Monkey God Entertainment, Summit Studios and Eka Entertainment Production.

Striking the right chords, Maharani depicts the fun and complicated relationship between a modern woman and her house help. A soft comedy drama, that revolves around a house help and her presence being compared to as the actual ‘Maharani’ of the house. The film is a slice from all our lives packed with humour, chaos and everyday magic.
Talking about the film, Abhishek Pathak, Producer & MD, Panorama Studios said, “At Panorama Studios, we’ve always believed in telling stories that resonate with the everyday Indian. We’re proud to back a film that finds humour and heart in the most ordinary moments. Maharani is emotional, it’s entertaining, and most of all, it’s real. With a brilliant cast and a story that reflects every household, we’re excited to bring this heartfelt comedy to audiences across the country.”
Film Director, Viral Shah, expresses, “Maharani is a celebration of unsung relationships – the kind that quietly unfold in kitchens, living rooms, and in the silent understanding shared over a cup of chai. At its core, it’s a light-hearted, slice-of-life comedy, but it speaks volumes about the unspoken bond between a house owner and her house help. It’s a story that gently reminds us that the freedom and ease we often take for granted are possible only because someone else is holding the fort behind the scenes. It’s subtle, it’s heartfelt, and it’s a story that needed to be told.”
Talking about the film, Manasi Parekh said, “Working on this film definitely made me realise that the bond we share with our house maid, is actually irreplaceable. Maharani also reflects on women friendships, the idea of self-esteem, self love in the larger scheme of things. It is a story that goes beyond the usual and collaborating with such great actors and a Director like Viral feels surreal. My character, Manasi is just like any other independent working woman who has new situations that life throws everyday and she tries to cope with it in the best possible way. Working with Shraddha has been a pleasure and as we went along in this journey we explored a deeper friendship that will translate onto the screen. I can't wait for audiences to watch this film and hope they come out of the theatre taking something valuable.”
Talking about the film, Shraddha Dangar said, “Maharani is an exceptionally written story, it connects with me personally at multiple levels. Rani’s character showcases strength, self awareness and has many layers to it. The film is a comedy at its core and I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of it. Working with Manasi was an incredible experience and together we discussed our creative process and shared a great bond on and off-screen too. Maharani is one of a kind and I hope audiences enjoy this film to the fullest.”
Get ready to witness and celebrate the Maharani’s like never before!
Maharani is set to release in the theatres on 1st August, 2025
