Mughal-e-Azam : The Story You've Never HEARD ft. Sharad | Jist

Mughal-e-Azam: The Story You Have Never Heard — What did it really take to make one of the greatest films in the history of Indian cinema? In this episode of Frame By Frame, we go behind the making of K. Asif’s legendary Mughal-e-Azam—a film that took more than a decade to reach the screen and pushed filmmaking, set design, costumes, cinematography and production to extraordinary lengths. From the film’s original conception in the 1940s and its troubled journey through Partition, the death of its original Akbar, and its eventual revival, to the casting of Prithviraj Kapoor, Dilip Kumar and Madhubala, this is the story of a filmmaker who refused to compromise on his vision. Discover the unbelievable making of the Sheesh Mahal, the painstaking costumes and makeup, the use of colour, massive battle sequences involving thousands of soldiers, and the lengths K. Asif went to create the world of Mughal India on screen. And behind the grandeur of the film was another story—the real-life tension between Madhubala and Dilip Kumar, whose complicated relationship gave an extraordinary emotional intensity to some of the film’s most unforgettable scenes.
