Mughal-E-Azam's Iconic Sheesh Mahal Recreated For Salman Khan's Prem Ratan Dhan Payo

Salman Khan starrer upcoming flick Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, reportedly, will have a Sheesh Mahal similar to the one that we saw Dilip Kumar’s Mughal-e-Azam. It is said that the Sheesh Mahal will play a very integral part in the story of the film. Sooraj R. Barjatya, the director of the film, was so happy with the construction of art director Nitin Desai that he had cut cake to celebrate the creation on August 5, which is interestingly, the release date of Mughal-e-Azam.

Calling it a tribute to Mughal-E-Azam, the director told India.com, “It’s our tribute to the film that shaped the Indian film industry in many many ways. Sheesh Mahal plays a very intrinsic role in the plot of the film. How Salman’s story and the Sheesh Mahal is also connected will be revealed when the film releases on November 12”.

Nitin Desai said, “A magnificent Sheesh Mahal of Mughal-e-Azam was witnessed 55 years ago after which every artist dreamt of making a similar set.  I feel honoured to have my birthday being celebrated on a Sheeshmahal that has been created by me and my team. It’s a dream come true. I would like to dedicate it to the entire film industry. This dream has been possible because of Rajshri productions and I would like to thank Soorajji, Salman, Maniji and the team of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo for making it happen”.
