Paresh Rawal Defends The Taj Story Amid Controversy
In a chat with ANI, Paresh said the film uncovers details many people do not know. He explained, “The film is about the architecture, and then the Taj’s transformation, which was borrowed from someone who borrowed someone else’s palace… all of these have been revealed. The truth has been revealed.”
He also reacted to the controversy. Paresh stated that the discussions around the film impact society. He said, “We are trying to clear the obvious and present the historical facts from primary sources.” He added that the goal is not to create conflict but to bring clarity.
Actor Zakir Hussain also shared his view. He plays a lawyer in the film. He believes the topic naturally brings debate. Zakir said, “There are some subjects which create controversies… Over time, things tend to change in meaning. We are bringing a healthy debate to the audience.”
Director Tushar Amrish Goel praised the actors. He said their performances added depth to the story. He shared, “With Zakir sir’s versatility and Paresh sir’s talent, I got humour along with a bit of bitterness. The combination of both elements made our story and our film.”
Legal Battle And Controversy Surrounding The Film
The film has already landed in court. A PIL was filed against The Taj Story. The petition claims the film uses “fabricated facts” and spreads “a particular propaganda” that could create tension.
The plea also objected to a scene in the trailer. It shows the Taj Mahal’s dome lifting to reveal a statue of Lord Shiva. The petitioner argued that this scene may mislead people and disturb harmony.
The Delhi High Court refused to give an urgent hearing in the case.
