56 years later, Mughal-e-Azam’s sequel on the cards

Fifty six years after iconic Madhubala won hearts through her role as Anarkali in Mughal-e-Azam, its sequel is on the cards.

Farah Ahmed, the wife of late producer-director Sultan Ahmed who assisted K Asif in Anarkali’s production, is working on a sequel to the movie, the Times of India reported.

"We had attempted a few films, including a remake of our own production 'Ganga Ki Saugandh', but it didn't materialise." Farah told the Times of India.

"The script of 'Anarkali Ki Wapasi' was developed immediately after the release of 'Mughal-e-Azam'. My husband had initiated the work on this concept in 1971, after launching his banner. It was his dream project. We will modify the script to make it relevant for the current audience," she said.

The classic Mughal-e-Azam starred Madhubala and Dilip Kumar in lead roles, and gave the audience memorable songs like ‘Jab pyar kya tu darna kya’ to cherish.
