Dhananand.

When asked Shena Wagh who plays Mura, she shares, "I was very thrilled when I got to know that my look in the show is inspired by the evergreen actress Rekha Ji. The entire team has made a great effort to match my look with the of Rekha Ji's from the movie Utsav. To a great extent, it also makes nervous and excited at the same time because in the move, she carried her look with extreme grace and poise and I have grown up watching her movies. I feel fortunate to be remaking the same look in Chandragupta Maurya and looking forward to do justice to my character Mura."
