<p>Bollywood actor Huma Qureshi is gearing up for the release of her latest web series <em>Maharani</em>, a political drama set in Bihar. The series is slated to release on Friday (May 28) and has created a fair deal of buzz among fans due to its posters and trailers.<br /><br />Here are the four reasons to look forward to the Sonyliv series.<br /><br /><strong>Huma in a new avatar</strong></p>.<p>Huma will be seen playing the role of a Chief Minister's wife in <em>Maharani</em>. Her character here is a complete departure from the one played by her in her maiden series Leila, which may help her explore her abilities as a performer. The actor has worked <a href="https://www.deccanherald.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/the-process-was-intense-huma-qureshi-on-preparing-for-maharani-989335.html" target="_blank">on her accent and body language </a>to do justice to the part. Judging by the trailer, her look here is completely different from the ones sported by her in films such as <em>Jolly LLB 2</em> and <em>Badlapur</em>.<br /><br /><strong>Strong supporting cast</strong></p>.<p><em>Maharani </em>has an impressive supporting cast that includes Sohum Shah and Amit Sial. The <em>Tumbbad </em>actor is going through a busy phase on the work front and recently impressed a section of the audience with his work in <em>The Big Bull</em> and many feel that he could add a new dimension to the series. Amit, on the other hand, has previously played characters from the heartland in shows such as <em>Inside Edge</em> and <em>Jamtara</em>, which makes him a good choice for <em>Maharani</em>.<br /><br /><strong>Underdog saga</strong><br /><br />Stories revolving around the journey and struggles of an underdog usually do well due to the high relatability factor. The much-loved <em>Breaking Bad</em> is a case in point. It revolved around the life of an out-of-luck professor, who finds himself in the midst of the drug trade after being diagnosed with cancer. <em>Maharani</em> too is an underdog tale as it essentially deals with a simpleton's attempts at trying to figure out the political landscape of reel Bihar.<br /><br /><strong>'Desi' setting</strong><br /><br />Fans have previously lapped up shows set in the heartland because of their rawness and intense presentation. <em>Mirzapur</em>, a series set in Uttar Pradesh, is a case in point. Maharani has a distinct heartland flavour and features strong language, which suggests it may cater to the masses.</p>
