Production
Initially, Anushka Sen was cast for the role of Rani. She left the series three weeks after the launch claiming health issues while the producers cited that she was unprofessional and threw tantrums on the set.[2] Anushka was replaced by Megha Ray. Tannaz Irani tested positive for COVID-19[3] but resumed shooting after she recovered. Megha Ray had tested positive for COVID-19 and she is staying at home quarantining.[4] She eventually tested negative and she continued working. Tannaz Irani was replaced by Vivana Singh as Rajeshwari Singh Rajawat. Irani said, "It was a random call; they told me that I was required to shoot every day, as my character is pivotal. They went on to add that they have thought it through and since I can’t travel to Goa, they are replacing me. I am shocked and confused".[5] The show telecasted its last episode on 16 October 2021.
