Today Indian cinema classic movie ‘Mughal-e-Azam is celebrating its 60th anniversary with the great director late K. Asif and his son Akbar Asif who is presenting the film in Oscar library in Hollywood.  Akbar Asif, the UK-based son of the late director, said he presented the screenplay to the Academy Awards to mark the big anniversary of his father’s historical epic starring Prithviraj Kapoor, Dilip Kumar, and Madhubala, which falls on Wednesday.

Three versions of the legendary screenplay – in Hindi, Roman text and English translation, are now available at the Margaret Herrick Library, a world-renowned reference and research collection of the Academy devoted to the history and development of the motion picture as an art form and an industry.

“The journey of ‘Mughal-e-Azam’ started with words from the greatest writing team ever assembled in Hindi cinema and I thought the best way to honor them was to permanently preserve their screenplay in the world’s most renowned film library,” said Akbar Asif, a businessman based in London.

“I hope future generations can learn and get inspired by the work of my late father and his incredible team of writers. I want to humbly thank the Academy Awards for accepting the screenplay,” he said.

For today’s generation, the movie is an inspiration. With the upcoming digitalization and people bing watching over Netflix, Hotstar, and other platforms Mughal-e-Azam is also now available on Hotstar for the audiences.

Bollywood might go on to make many historical movies like ‘Jodha Akbar, Bajirao Mastani, Padmaavat’ but stakes will never ever be higher than the epic love story of  Salim and Anarkali. The creativity and insanity of late director K. Asif still act as an inspiration and benchmark for every contemporary filmmaker who wishes to explore the genre of epic movies.
