The Empire is set to debut on Disney Plus Hotstar next week. The show’s director Mitakshara Kumar talked about the “massive scale” of the project.
Kumar said, “When I started working on The Empire, I treated it like a movie and not a show which allowed me to step into the big frame and create an experience on a massive scale where every detail was minutely taken care of, as we do for movies. Seeing the tremendous response from all quarters on the trailer has instilled confidence in me that we have indeed created something special! Right from the costumes, dialogues, backdrop, everything was well thought through and holds the narrative. I am lucky to have The Empire as my directorial debut and partners like Nikkhil Advani, Monisha Advani & Madhu Bhojwani at Emmay Entertainment and Disney+ Hotstar. Many years of dedication and hardwork has gone into creating this project, and I am eagerly waiting for viewers across India to enjoy it.”
The Empire draws inspiration from Empire of the Moghul: Raiders from the North by Alex Rutherford. It follows the young King Babur, who ascends to the throne after the death of his father. However, it won’t be a simple task to rule his kingdom as an evil warlord Shaibani Khan is trying to kill him. The series stars Kunal Kapoor, Shabana Azmi, Drashti Dhami, Dino Morea, Aditya Seal, Sahher Bambba, and Rahul Dev.
The Empire will debut on Disney Plus Hotstar on August 27.
