00:00 Do you know that the person who made this film was a Shimpi?
00:06 And when Prithviraj Kapoor realized that Dilip Kumar was also going to work with him,
00:13 he didn't say anything about the film.
00:16 And for Anarkali's role, the director was going to hire Nutan.
00:22 If you don't know, then you have to watch this video completely.
00:26 [Music]
00:31 Mughlai Azam, when we hear this name, we get a thousand Arshas of Bhavya Rajwada.
00:38 Akbar who was overwhelmed by emotions and Salim who was beaten by a stick.
00:42 Besides this, the song that is playing on the reel today,
00:45 someday we will also see this scene smiling,
00:48 this is also from the film Mughlai Azam.
00:51 Today we are going to learn some behind the scenes stories of Mughlai Azam.
00:55 [Music]
01:02 Namaskar, I, Nayan Sapre, welcome you to the episode of Lok Satta Online.
01:08 We must have heard about the directors who get a lot of money to make a good film.
01:14 But we get to hear a few different things about K. Asif.
01:19 Let's find out what happens.
01:21 In the book, "The Story of Cinema", Abhijit Desai says that
01:26 in the 40s, K. Asif's budget for cinema was in the hands of millions.
01:31 To go to a film producer's door and take as much as you can,
01:35 and make a film, this never sat in their minds.
01:39 Mughlai Azam, this statement is taken in such a way that
01:43 the producer first heard the budget of the film and then heard this statement.
01:48 It is said that K. Asif, even if he was giving so much budget,
01:52 he would have spent the entire budget on the set of the film.
01:56 He himself would have taken a mattress on the set and slept.
01:59 And he would have distributed the money for the direction we got on the set.
02:04 No matter how much trouble this was, Mughlai Azam had to complete it.
02:08 A story about the film is told that
02:11 in the 40s, K. Asif's uncle, Nazir, was a big actor.
02:16 He had opened a shimpa shop for his nephew's livelihood.
02:21 But K. Asif was not interested in tailoring.
02:24 Finally, he took a step away from tailoring
02:28 and started meeting the producers himself.
02:31 But if you tell the budget of Akbar Badshah's palace,
02:35 the money-earners would be in trouble.
02:38 A similar story is told that
02:40 Seth Siraj Ali Hakim had agreed to a certain amount for the film.
02:47 But he did not agree.
02:49 So he got up and started walking without taking money.
02:55 The next day, Siraj Ali came to his house in the middle of the street
02:59 and accepted the no budget offer.
03:02 He accepted the money in a hurry.
03:06 But K. Asif had told him that he would make a film that would earn double the money.
03:13 In this way, he started making films.
03:17 A few shifts of making films passed.
03:19 And in 1947, as India became independent,
03:23 the producer of the film, Siraj Ali, fled to Pakistan.
03:28 And Mughlai Azam closed for the first time.
03:31 When the film started again, he took Jalaluddin's role, Chandramohan,
03:36 on the set of Bombay Talkies.
03:41 The film was shot 50% but Chandramohan was fired.
03:47 So the film was shut down again.
03:57 When K. Asif was going to start the film for the third time,
04:01 he asked Prithviraj Kapoor for Akbar's role.
04:06 But he did not say that Dilip Kumar is going to work in this film.
04:12 When Kamal Amrohi's Mahal was released,
04:16 the film was announced for production by Filmkar.
04:22 The name of the film was Anarkali.
04:25 When Asif understood this, he became very unwell.
04:29 Leaving aside his other work, he started working on Mughlai Azam again.
04:34 Dilip Kumar had heard the story of Mughlai Azam from K. Asif for a long time.
04:39 And he had also expressed his desire to work in this film.
04:43 So K. Asif selected Dilip Kumar for the role of Salim.
04:48 Then K. Asif asked Prithviraj Kapoor for Akbar's role.
04:53 Prithviraj agreed to this.
04:56 But when Dilip Kumar heard his name, he took a step back.
05:01 And asked, if Dilip Kumar is also working in this film,
05:05 then who will be the hero?
05:07 K. Asif said, "Papaji, I am making a film on Akbar,
05:11 not on the image of Salim or Yusuf."
05:14 This one sentence convinced Asif and Prithviraj Kapoor.
05:19 Now the question was about Anarkali.
05:22 Actually, K. Asif was the name of Nutan in his mind.
05:25 For the screen test, Nutan was going to shoot his photo and take the final decision.
05:31 But before that, Dilip Kumar Marfat expressed his desire to do Anarkali.
05:37 And Asif was overwhelmed.
05:40 He threw the entire painting behind Kera's head.
05:44 And started shooting the new Mughlai Azam.
05:48 And like this, while facing many obstacles,
05:52 the journey of Mughlai Azam's painting started.
05:56 But there were some obstacles ahead.
05:58 What happened to Prithviraj Kapoor and K. Asif?
06:02 Why would Dilip Kumar leave the film industry?
06:05 To know the answer to all these questions,
06:08 you have to watch the next part of this.
