Background and production
Speaking at the launch of the drama, Sanjay Khan, Chairman and Managing Director of the Numero Uno said, "The revolt of 1857 referred to as the Second Mutiny by the British is a very important facet of India’s freedom struggle. Therefore, in the age of low-cost family dramas, I have attempted to bring serials which have qualities of an epic and good cinematic values.http://www.tribuneindia.com/2002/20021231/nation.htm#13 The Tribune, Chandigarh, India – Nation Tribuneindia.com 1 August 2012 26 May 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20120526115801/http://www.tribuneindia.com/2002/20021231/nation.htm#13 dead India's first war of independence of 1857 is not more than three pages in any school textbook. What we are presenting is the drama and the sacrifices that people made for the nation so that nationalistic fervour is never lessened, but enhanced."http://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/2001/may/11281.htm You are here: Home > News > Mid-day.com 29 May 2001 1 August 2012 There are quite a few songs in the drama that don't stop the progression of the story. We have recorded three songs out of the 20 planned. "We are proud to say this is the most expensive serial on Indian television, a television series on a cinematic scale," claims Hormuzda Davar, the CEO of the Numero Uno. The crew included over 150 technicians, 80 artistes, 150 horses, 10 elephants, 50 camels and over 2000 sword fighters.
