Talking about the show, Rahul Kumar Tewary, Swastik Productions said, “After Mahabharat we wanted to make a historical series on the first and the last woman emperor of the Delhi Sultanate and &tv seemed the right platform. The channel agreed to our vision for the show and this untold story will unfold on 2nd March. Siddharth has created a unique world and we are certain, that the audience will resonate with Razia Sultan’s tale.”

Said Pankhuri Awasthi, “We often talk about meritocracy and gender equality but this thought was exercised successfully in the Slave Dynasty way back in the 13th century.The character of Razia Sultan was way ahead of her time and her father Iltutmish had the courage to believe in his daughter to be the worthy successor of his throne. I am thoroughly excited to have had this opportunity to portray such a powerful character onscreen.”

Adds Sooraj Thapar, “Being a part of Razia Sultan has been an enriching experience. As an actor, one gets to dabble in various characters with distinct personalities. And I am certain Iltutmish as
a father will stand out.”
