Mumbai, May 21
Makers of 'My Lady Jane' unveiled the official trailer of romance-fantasy series on Tuesday.
My Lady Jane, based on the best-selling novel, offers a radical reimagining of the English royal family's history by cutting out the killing of Lady Jane Grey, the tuberculosis deaths of King Henry VIII's son Edward, and the scoundrel husband, Guildford.
Jane, the protagonist of this daring new series, is both intelligent and stubborn. Her unexpected coronation shocks her, and she soon becomes the target of evildoers who want her head as well as the crown. My Lady Jane is an epic love story with fantastic adventures.
