The show is garnering encouraging TRPs right from its launch and has strengthened the channel’s foothold. And now the buzz doing the rounds is that going by the rising popularity of the show, Zee TV has decided to air the show five times a week. The show that currently airs from Tuesday to Friday will be airing five days a week starting 5 October.

Much has been written about Zee TV’s magnum-opus <em>Jhansi Ki Rani</em>. Following a fall-out between the channel and Innovative 9 the show would now be produced by Contiloe Telefilms. Tellychakkar also reported that Kritika Sengar and Ulka Gupta will play the young and teenaged Rani Lakshmi Bai. Now there is yet another interesting news on the show. According to sources, both the production house had approached singer turned actress Twinkle Bajpai.

Rahul claims that both his upcoming shows are to be very big projects. He informs, “I always wanted to make historical shows. We are just finished with the research work.
