In the era of the Mughals, Emperor Akbar's desire of a son is fulfilled when his wife, Jodhabai, gives birth
to Salim, who grows up to be a spoiled brat filled with disrespect and self-indulgence. Consequently, he's
sent off to war in Akbar's army and returns as a reformed person with perseverance and discipline fourteen
years later. Salim, now a young man, falls in love with Anarkali, a lowly courtesan. Bahar, a dancer who
covets the love of the Prince, is filled with jealousy upon discovering the secret affair and exposes it to
Akbar. The emperor, full of royal pride, vehemently disapproves of the relationship and imprisons
Anarkali, which leads Salim to declare an open rebellion against him. The war between father and son
changes the lives of everyone in the empire threatening the foundations of the Mughal rule in India.
The show’s dialogue and song lyrics are spoken and sang in the Urdu & Hindi languages –
