A new film The Taj Story which opens later this month, questions the historic origins of the Taj Mahal. It propagates a new version of history wherein the Taj Mahal has Hindu and not Mughal antecedents. Such mischief-mongering cinema serves no purpose except to aggravate a feeling of divisiveness in an already-fractured social order.
Paresh Rawal steps into the role of Vishnu Das, a tourist guide whose quest to uncover the truth behind the Taj Mahal leads him down a path that challenges age-old beliefs and exposes buried realities.
Says Paresh Rawal , “Vishnu Das is a character rooted in courage and conviction. Through his journey to uncover the truth behind the Taj Mahal, the film challenges long-held beliefs and invites audiences to engage with history critically. I am proud to be part of a story that doesn’t shy away from asking difficult questions and encourages reflection on our past with honesty and integrity.”
