Over 60 years since its release, Mughal-e-Azam (1960) continues to captivate the audience. K Asif’s period drama, starring the late Dilip Kumar and Madhubala, was brought to the stage as a musical by Feroz Abbas Khan in 2016, winning much acclaim. Now, Khan is retelling the tragic love story of Prince Salim and courtesan Anarkali with Mughal-e-Azam: The Musical, at Bal Gandharva Rang Mandir in Bandra. Fashion designer Manish Malhotra has been roped in to bring alive the director’s grand vision.
