SRK, The King Khan of Bollywood, is always in the news for his majestic style and nonpareil ideas. He is again in the news for making a documentary on the 1960 Indian epic film “Mughal-e-Azam”. This classic film needs absolutely no introduction. Based on a phase in Prince Salim’s life, who later on became Emperor Jahangir, this movie imprints an unparallel love story of Salim (Dilip Kumar) and Anarkali (Madhubala). In 2004, the film was colorized by Sterling Investment Corp Pvt. Ltd, and re released, which ran for 25 weeks, a record created in its re release which no other Bollywood films could break as of yet.
Shahrukh’s documentary is named “Mughal-E-Azam- A tribute by a son to his father”, which is 40 minutes long. He stated that he is a huge admirer of Dilip Kumar and is very much inspired by the latter. He even boasts of having the original camera with which Mughal-E-Azam was shot.
SRK made the documentary with the help of Akbar Asif, son of K. Asif (director-producer of Mughal-E-Azam). It is produced under his banner of Red Chillies. Khan also anchored the documentary and played the sutradhar of this documentary. Many veterans and yesteryear actors have been interviewed in the documentary. We are looking forward to seeing the documentary on the eternal love saga, which will be released soon.
