Synopsis

Set four hundred years ago, Pannadai is an epic tale from Rajasthan centered on the loyal nurse Pannadai. After Rana Sang of Chittorgarh dies, his Queen Karunavati is besieged by Bahadursingh. Pannadai cleverly secures help from Emperor Humayun, but after the Queen's death, she is entrusted with safeguarding the child-king Udai Singh. Pannadai then faces the treacherous schemes of Banbir, Rana Sang's illegitimate son, who seeks to usurp the throne, leading to the ultimate sacrifice of her own son to protect the rightful heir.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
