Several actors from Assam have brought accolades to the state with their acting skills. One of the recent actors to join the list is Ranjeev Lal Barua.

Well-known actor Ranjeev Lal Barua who hails from Guwahati made a debut in a web series based on the Mughal era named Taj – Divided by Blood, streaming on Zee5. Barua is sharing screen with the likes of Dharmendra, Naseeruddin Shah, Rahul Bose, Aditi Rao Hydari, Zarina Wahab in the web series that premiered on Zee 5 yesterday.

Barua received a call from a casting agency in 2021 from Mumbai asking for an audition and after sending an audition video he got a call to be selected to perform a small part in the web series.

Sharing a post on social media, Barua penned down his experience of being part of the show.
“In 2021, I received a call out of the blue from a big casting agency in Mumbai asking me if I was interested in auditioning for a ‘big’ (read – international Scriptwriters, Director, Cinematographers, Action director, and huge star cast) web series based on the Mughal era. For a part-time actor based out of Guwahati, just to get that call was a thrill in itself. Of course, I sent the audition video without ever hoping of getting the casting call. Turns out that I did! And the journey since the day I was cast till today, including those frantic trips to Mumbai in the middle of covid, those rigorous days of costume fittings, fight rehearsals, and the shoot itself….it’s been nothing short of exhilarating!
And then finally I watch the first episode and it just exceeds all my expectations!
Taj – Divided by Blood streaming from today on ZEE5 is a fantastic watch…and not because I am a small part of it. It’s just a fantastic, massive, opulent show… unlike any I have seen in any Indian OTT to date. The script, the cinematography, the music and sound, the acting….its just blowing my mind.
Heartful thanks to the people who have supported me in this journey.
Do watch Taj – Divided by Blood on Zee5. First episode is free in case you want to check it out before subscribing. And make sure the screen is not too small and the sound is not too low!!!”, wrote Barua.

Taj – Divided by Blood is a series set in the 16th century, where the star follows Akbar and the war of succession among his 3 sons: Salim, Murad, and Daniyal. It is a twisted tale of the struggle for power filled with dangerous politics, poetic beauty, torrid romances, cold treachery, and bloodshed. The show unravels multiple layers of each character in the Mughal dynasty.
