The opulence of Feroz Abbas Khan's tour de force, 'Mughal-e-Azam: The Musical', came alive in all its glory when the iconic love song 'Pyar Kiya Toh Darna Kya' was staged at the Taj Mahal on 14th Jan 2025. Team 'Mughal-e-Azam: The Musical' put up this dazzling performance to mark the award-winning production's landmark 300th performance at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, New Delhi, on February 13th. These shows will continue till February, 23. It will also mark the end of the Delhi run for this epic masterpiece, offering theatre connoisseurs a final opportunity to witness it in the capital city.

Describing this as an immensely emotional experience, Feroz Abbas Khan said, "We wanted to celebrate the enduring legacy of love by performing 'Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya' in front of the Taj Mahal. Incidentally, Shakeel Badayuni who wrote this definitive love anthem also praised the Taj for being a monument to love in another famous song. In a way, our performance was a tribute to Shakeel saab, to Naushad ji who tuned both the songs, to the Taj and to love that transcends all barriers."
Before the Delhi performance, the musical is also scheduled to be staged in Mumbai at NMACC till January 26, 2025. Featuring over 550 exquisite costumes, breathtaking sets, live singing, and stunning Kathak choreography, this production is celebrated as one of the most extravagant in the history of Indian theatre.
"While distilling K Asif's timeless epic into a stage production, we did not anticipate the momentous journey it would go on to undertake across the globe. The fact that we are now all set to stage our 300th performance in Delhi has an enormous personal significance for all of us," adds Khan.
Producer Deepesh Salgia says, “Shapoorji Pallonji has been associated with the magnificence of 'Mughal-e-Azam' for over 75 years in its cinematic as well as musical form. Be it the luxurious production canvas or the marketing campaign, we have always worked towards setting new benchmarks. In the same spirit, the performance at the Taj is our tribute to the concluding season of the musical in Delhi.”
Produced by Deepesh Salgia, under the aegis of Shapoorji Pallonji and Directed by Feroz Abbas Khan, 'Mughal-E-Azam: The Musical' has won multiple plaudits including seven Broadway World India awards. Having drawn packed houses globally since its debut in 2016, the musical featuring iconic compositions from the original film has now become part of the cultural zeitgeist.
