As seen in the trailer, the series encapsulates the reign of King Akbar, who is on a quest to find a worthy successor for his grand legacy leading to a blood battle between his sons for the throne. While most stories of the Mughal era have been portrayed through the rose-tinted glasses of romance, Taj – Divided by Blood will showcase these historical figures as humans with ambitions, desires and flaws. A complete visual spectacle, Taj – Divided by Blood is full of drama, politics and tragedy; jealousy, deceit and betrayal; love, lust and romance; arts, poetry and architecture and most importantly, it’s a bloody war of succession in the quest for power.

 

Archana Anand, Chief Business Officer, ZEE5 Global said ,"ZEE5 has always been committed to bringing its viewers across countries the biggest and most resonant stories from South Asia. “Taj – Divided by Blood” is one of our most defining projects yet and offers our viewers a peek into one of India's most fascinating eras, the Mughal period. A visual spectacle, the show features some of South Asian entertainment's biggest stars as they bring to life this magnum opus and is sure to have our viewers enthralled."

 

Director Ron Scalpello said, “I have been an avid follower of Indian History hence when I got the opportunity to put forth a series on the Mughal empire, I was ecstatic. Since there have been so many versions of the Mughal history, I did have to research a lot to unravel the unknown facets of these historical figures and that is where our show stands out as in Taj – Divided by Blood, you will get to see these historical figures as humans with ambitions, desires, greed and flaws which is rather an unseen side of the empire. Also, the theme of war and succession is global hence I am sure that the series will appeal to a global audience”.

 

Naseeruddin Shah said, “TAJ – Divided by Blood is the story of war, succession and power set against the backdrop of the Mughal empire. The show unveils the inner workings that played out in the hallowed chambers of King Akbar’s empire. While many have recreated the Mughal history, Taj – Divided by Blood has taken an unexplored and unchartered take on it, hence making it compelling for old and new viewers. A brilliant team from across the globe has brought this series to life and from whatever I have seen so far, I can tell that it is going to be one of the most riveting series of the year”.

 

Aditi Rao Hydari said, “I have always enjoyed history; there are always great stories, many of which are outside of our textbooks. When I was asked to play Anarkali I was afraid as much as I was excited. Anarkali is an iconic character, her beauty and grace was considered unparalleled and enchanting beyond one’s imagination. I was intimidated at first and especially because of how it’s been portrayed by the mesmerising Madhubala in Mughal-e-azam. What made me take a leap was a meeting with the director Ron Scalpello and the writers William and Simon. Anarkali has been written very uniquely and so it felt like a new challenge to take on. The collaborative nature of our discussions also really added to my journey into this world to make it my own. It has been a privilege and responsibility to play Anarkali and I hope that I have done justice to it”.

To that Neha Kakkar added, "I think the best way to draw inspiration for something is to reflect up on your own life and that’s what we do.
