Nandana Sen is Maharani Padmini

“I can barely contain my excitement. I'm currently transported to another era. I'm playing a 19th century princess opposite Sean Bean, shooting in Orchha (Madhya Pradesh) for a British production called Sharpe's Peril. It's a huge Indiana Jones styled extravaganza directed by Tom Clegg."

"Actually they had wanted me for the earlier episode in the ongoing series. But I couldn't do it. I'm shooting in a city plush with temples and forts. "

"I'm having super-fun being a feisty horse-riding princess sparring with a swashbuckling Sean Bean. The action scenes are a novelty for me, I have done nothing as exciting as Sharpe's Peril. I'm having a blast as the rebel princess, riding horses and most importantly warring with Sean Bean."

"We've shot together for more than a week. He's reserved, and so am I. He's also a lot older than I am. But we get along really well. It's fun…Firing bullets, the whole ancient- warrior thing."
