Khan, known for directing critically acclaimed plays “Tumhari Amrita” and “Mahatma Vs Gandhi”, calls the stage adaptation of the movie his most ambitious and exciting project so far.
“Mughal-e-Azam was adapted from a play. It has a very theatrical structure. When I thought about doing a musical play on a large scale the film came to my mind. It was made in 1960 but people are attracted to the story even today,” Khan told PTI in an interview.
The director says he has been careful in respecting K Asif’s vision while lending the stage adaptation modern sensibilities.
