Conception
Rani Chandra was introduced into The Sarah Jane Adventures as a replacement for departing character Maria Jackson played by Yasmin Paige. Paige left the series as a regular due to her wanting to complete her GCSE's, thus, Maria moved to America because her Dad had been offered a job there. Rani's parents, Haresh and Gita Chandra, replace Maria's parents, Alan and Chrissie Jackson, as Alan departs with their daughter and Chrissie no longer has reason to show up.
Rani shares her name with the Rani, a recurring villain from the classic series of Doctor Who. Russell T Davies told readers of Doctor Who Magazine that Rani is "not the Rani".
