Film director Sandeep Singh said, "l feel so honoured and absolutely privileged to be launching Zanai Bhosle who is a descendant of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's family lineage and also shares her lineage with extremely brilliant and accomplished family, with the late Lata Mangeshkarji being her aunt and being Asha Bhosleji's granddaughter. She is a proud Bhosale, who has already been gifted with a soulful voice and has a ear for music. But few know what a talented dancer and a skillful performer she is. She will do full justice to the character of Rani Sai Bai."

Sandeep Singh added, "As Shivaji Maharaj's wife, Rani Sai Bai had contributed immensely to his growth as a king and a human being."

The film marks Sandeep Singh's theatrical directorial debut and is presented by Immerso Studio and Legend Studios.
