Principal photography took place in Jaipur in February 2020.
After shooting a chunk on sets the filming moved to Wai, Maharashtra to
recreate wilderness. A huge set for Uzbekistan was recreated in Mumbai.
Few Indian started objecting to the series soon after its
trailer popped on the internet, accusing the makers of glorifying the king
Babur However, Hotstar rejected grievance complaints against the series 'The
Empire' which led to the trend - 'Uninstall Hotstar.'
The grievance officer appointed under Information Technology
(Guidelines for intermediaries and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021
received complaints about the series but the officer rejected them claiming
that the series is not glorifying Babur.
Hotstar claimed that the web series does not make reference
to the 2019 Supreme Court judgement in favor of Ram Lalla Virajman at the Ram
Janmabhoomi temple where the disputed structure, often referred to as Babri
Masjid, stood.

life
Babur’s story begins with the kingdoms of Samarkand and
Fergana
His father tells him that far away from here is Hindkush, Hindustan
which is one of the beautiful places in the world after the death of the
father, 14-year-old Babar is placed on the throne of Fargana by Nani (Shabana
Azmi), now story starts, which ends with Babar becoming king of Delhi, Hindkush,
India and his death and declaring of his heir.
Review Verdict -
Do not watch this series as a Historical Drama, you will get
nothing by watching this series.
When I started to watch this series, I started to feel that
the web series is just like a Bollywood movie. Never got the feeling that I am
watching Historic Drama
Be ready to see song and dance in series and a Bollywood style
love story with war.
Watch this series just as an entertainment series
The empire series just shows life of King Babar in a Bollywood
style
But we must realize the problems and dangers face by the web
series makers in India
In Today’s times it is very difficult to make any good historical
web series or a movie in India.

Seems okay to watch.
Seen Delhi crime in Netflix. Good. Nirbhaya murder case.
"Sang hoon tere" is making me mad. It took 5 years to be in happy mood to enjoy songs.
Modi is depressed. He needs to take antidepressants.
Jab sudhar hi nahin raha koi, tho modi bhi kya kar lega?
