Queen, directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon and Prasath Murugesan, stars Ramya as Sakthi Seshadri – a character inspired by former Tamil Nadu CM, and actor Jayalalithaa. The show documents her life as a school-going girl, a teenager, and when she joined politics, taking over MG Ramachandran’s place after his demise.

Ramya started filming Queen season 2 in May. She shared pictures from the set, donning the look of her character from Queen. Ramya wrote on Instagram: “Yes yes yes (sic).” She followed it up with praying emoji. In the comments section of her post, fans expressed their excitement, with many sharing they could not wait for the second season. One Instagram user wrote, “Woahhh. Can’t wait for Queen–2(sic).” Another one said that nobody but Ramya could play the character in Queen.

A production of MX Player, the series is being jointly directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon and Prasath Murugesan. Before the release of the first season, Gautham said in a media interaction that he wasn’t sure if Ramya would be interested in being a part of the project.

“It came to me as the inspiring story of a woman who was forced to quit school, and went on to become successful in films, and later, in politics. I hoped Ramya Krishnan would accept the project, but was not sure if she would, as it’s a web series, but the writing convinced her, I think,” he told The News Indian Express.
