K.Asif one of the Most Fabulous Director of Bollywood
He is Remembered For his Historical Movie Mughal-e-Azam starring Dilip Kumar Madhubala and Prithviraj Kapoor The film was a Fabulous Hit
The Idea of Mughal- e-Azam was inspired by Ardeshir Irani Movie Anarkali ( 1928)
Ardeshir Irani Movie Anarkali Starred Sulochna Aka Ruby Myers She was a courtesan who attracts Prince Jagangir The film had a Tragic ending with Anarkali killed by the Emperor while Salim choose to leave her love For Empire
The Story was taken from Imtiaz Ali Taj Play Anarkali
K.Asif Finished His First Film Phool in 1944. It was at that time The entire Team of Mughal-e-Azam Come together. Phool was written by Kamal Amrohi Starring Prithviraj Kapoor Veena Durga khote and Suraiya
The Same Year K. Asif Launched his dream Project Mughal-e-Azam With Chandramohan as King Akbar With Nargis as Anarkali also Sapru and Durga Khote. Sapru was to play the rebellion prince Salim while Durga khote was to play Jodhabai. Only Durga khote survived to be Jodha bai in the final film released in 1960
Chandramohan was the most Popular name He already played Jahangir in Suhrab Modi Pukar(1939) and as Shahjahan in Kedar Sharma Mumtaz Mahal (1944)
Sadly Chandramohan died in 1949 before the film's First shoot could be completed
Shiraz Ali the producer of the film and owner of the Mahalakshmi studio in Bombay shifted to Pakistan
Durga khote in her biography wrote ten truckloads of the film were wasted
K.Asif was a visionary man keeping minute details
Had Nargis played the role of Anarkali Could that be Historical
Yes The Film In any shape could be Wonderful
