Panorama Studios Joins Hands With Monkey God Entertainment, Summit Studios & Eka Entertainment To Produce Maharani, A Gujarati Social Comedy, Directed By Viral Shah

Set in a bustling urban backdrop, Maharani is a light-hearted yet poignant social comedy that explores the chaotic balance between work, home, and unexpected relationships. At its heart is the love-hate bond between a spirited working mom and her ever-unpredictable house help, capturing the everyday drama, laughter, and heartwarming moments that shape modern urban life.

With eight National Award-winning talents collaborating behind the scenes, Maharani is a celebration of culture, community, and the irreplaceable bonds that define us.

Director Viral Shah shares, " With Maharani, I wanted to explore the emotional fabric of a modern urban household—through wit, warmth, and everyday chaos. The story draws from the quiet strength of unexpected bonds, especially between two women from different worlds whose lives intertwine in surprising ways. Collaborating with passionate producers, Panorama Studios, Monkey God Entertainment and Summit Studios, has been creatively energizing, and I’m excited to bring this honest and humorous narrative to life."

Producers Kumar Mangat Pathak & Abhishek Pathak, Panorama Studios, add,
"We’ve always believed in championing strong, rooted stories—across languages and regions. Maharani is a testament to the exciting evolution of Gujarati cinema, and we’re proud to collaborate with an exceptional team that brings both authenticity and creativity to the table. Regional cinema today is breaking boundaries and connecting with wider audiences, and Maharani fits perfectly into that vision. At Panorama, whether it’s Pyaar Ka Punchnama, Drishyam or Shaitaan, our goal has always been to deliver content that resonates—and this film is yet another bold step in that direction."

Producers Pritesh Thakkar and Madhu Sharma share, " From the very beginning, Maharani stood out as a story with both heart and humour—a slice-of-life narrative that feels universal. It’s a film that entertains while offering a deeper look at the dynamics of everyday relationships. And having a National Award-winning director like Viral Shah at the helm is a true boon—his vision and sensitivity have elevated the narrative beautifully. To top it off, the collaboration with Panorama Studios has been both creatively fulfilling and strategically aligned, ensuring that Maharani is not only made with sincerity but also positioned to reach the wide audience it deserves."

The film boasts a powerhouse ensemble cast including Manasi Parekh, Shraddha Dangar, Ojas Rawal, and Sanjay Goradia. It is written by acclaimed writers Raam Mori and Hardik Sangani, with music composed by the talented Parth Bharat Thakkar.

Produced by Kumar Mangat Pathak, Abhishek Pathak, Pritesh Thakkar, Madhu Sharma, and Viral Shah, and co-produced by Murlidhar Chhatwani, Chandresh Bhanushali, Suchin Ahluwalia, and Masumeh Makhija, Maharani promises to be a refreshing addition to regional Indian cinema. The film is directed by Viral Shah, whose previous directorial ventures, Kutch Express and Golkeri, have been both critically acclaimed and audience favourites.

With its unique blend of humour and social insight, Maharani promises to entertain while shining a light on compelling themes rooted in everyday life. Stay tuned for a delightful cinematic experience like no other.
