==Background and production==
Speaking at the launch of the drama, Sanjay Khan, Chairman and Managing Director of the Numero Uno said, "The revolt of 1857 referred to as the Second Mutiny by the British is a very important facet of India’s freedom struggle. Therefore, in the age of low-cost family dramas, I have attempted to bring serials which have qualities of an epic and good cinematic values.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2002/20021231/nation.htm#13 |title=The Tribune, Chandigarh, India – Nation |publisher=Tribuneindia.com |accessdate=1 August 2012}}</ref> India's first war of independence of 1857 is not more than three pages in any school textbook. What we are presenting is the drama and the sacrifices that people made for the nation so that nationalistic fervour is never lessened, but enhanced."<ref name="mid-day2001">{{cite web|url=http://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/2001/may/11281.htm |title=You are here: Home > News > |publisher=Mid-day.com |date=29 May 2001 |accessdate=1 August 2012}}</ref> There are quite a few songs in the drama that don't stop the progression of the story. We have recorded three songs out of the 20 planned.<ref name="mid-day2001"/> "We are proud to say this is the most expensive serial on Indian television, a television series on a cinematic scale," claims Hormuzda Davar, the CEO of the Numero Uno. The crew included over 150 technicians, 80 artistes, 150 horses, 10 elephants, 50 camels and over 2000 sword fighters.<ref name="mid-day2001"/> The drama approximately cost Rs 16 crore.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/2002/dec/40092.htm |title=EXCLUSIVE: Kaveri Kapur starts shooting for her debut with Vardhan Puri in UK |date=7 September 2021 |website=www.mid-day.com}}</ref>
