Following the untimely demise of his elder brother, King Someshwar steps forward to shoulder the immense responsibility of the kingdom. Known for his unwavering principles, righteous nature, and strategic acumen, King Someshwar is a man deeply rooted in values and committed to justice.
As he is crowned king, the kingdom looks to him with hope and reverence, setting the stage for a new chapter in the royal lineage of Ajmer.
Talking about the track, Ronit Bose Roy shared, 'Portraying King Someshwar has been an incredibly enriching experience for me — not just as an actor but as a person. He's a man of profound integrity, who carries the weight of the kingdom with quiet strength and wisdom. The Rajya Abhishek sequence is an emotional milestone in the show, and it hit me on a very personal level. As an actor, I've always been drawn to roles that challenge me internally, and this one definitely did.
I remember standing on set during the coronation scene, with the grand costumes, the heavy crown, the chants echoing around — and for a moment, there was complete stillness. It transported me. It didn't feel like a scene being shot. It felt like I was genuinely stepping into the shoes of a king whose every move mattered. Playing him has reminded me why I became an actor in the first place — to tell stories that matter, and to lose myself in characters that have something profound to say.'

Actor-director Niraj Chauhan, who hails from Surat, Gujarat, is so fascinated by the cultural landscape of Uttar Pradesh that he has directed two films in the state and is now planning a third, to be shot in the state capital. Chauhan shot his directorial debut, The Secret of Devkaali, in the Mathura region; it was released in theaters a month ago. He has also completed filming Yatrigan Dhyan Dein in Varanasi. During his visit to Lucknow for a recce, he shared, 'Uttar Pradesh is so vast and vibrant, with such a distinct culture, that every region offers a different setting. The concept, colours, language, and locations all aligned perfectly with our projects. When we were shooting …Devkaali, a supernatural thriller in Mathura, Vrindavan, and Gokul, we got the perfect backdrop. Meanwhile, filming Yatrigan... in Varanasi felt like entering a completely different world. It's a story about gutka (tobacco addiction) and revolves around three friends—myself, Brijendra Kala, and Makarand Deshpande. UP provides the ideal setting for realistic cinema.' Explaining why he chose Lucknow for his next project, he said, 'We have finalised a story titled Toll Plaza, which revolves around a government decision that changes the lives of people living near the plaza. We are in the final stages of casting and have zeroed in on locations on the city's outskirts. The dialogue and screenplay for all my films are written by Neha Soni, who is also from Lucknow.' Reflecting on his shooting experience, he added, 'Having directed and acted in two films, I've received phenomenal support from the UP government, local administration, and police. I even registered at my production house in Ayodhya. It's the script that has brought me here. I'm also acting in and producing The Master, which we will shoot in Kashmir. Neha will direct the film, while I will produce and act in it alongside local artistes.' Summing up his journey, he concluded, 'I graduated in theater and began acting in stage shows. To gain experience, I worked as a recordist dubbing South Indian films, then opened my own post-production studio and built a team before taking the leap into acting and direction.'
