New Delhi: Veteran actors Dharmendra and Naseeruddin Shah will be seen together in ZEE5's new original series ‘Taj – Divided by Blood.’ Dharmendra, who will be seen as Shaikh Salim Chishti in the show, on Wednesday revealed his first look as Salim Chishti. As he asked fans for their good wishes, a Twitter user claimed Dharmendra was “behaving like a struggling actor”. The veteran actor gave him a sweet reply. 
 
The 87-year-old star took to Twitter, where he shared a look from 'Taj - Royal Blood' and captioned it: "Friends, I am playing Shaikh Salim Chishti... a sufi saint, in the film Taj - Royal Blood. A small but important role.. need your good wishes." 
 
Replying to his tweet, a user wrote: "Why is he behaving like a struggling actor?" 
 
Dharmendra said: "Vaishnav, life is always a beautiful struggle. You, me everyone is struggling... Resting means...end of your loving dreams... end of your beautiful journey." 

 

The show will also feature Naseeruddin Shah as Akbar. Produced by Contiloe Digital, the series is described as a revelatory tale about the inner workings and the succession drama played out in the hallowed chambers of the Mughal empire.  

It dramatises the rise and fall of the generations that follow, showcasing the beauty and brutality of this great dynasty, their passion for arts, poetry, and architecture, but at the same time, their remarkably cold-blooded decisions with regard to their own family, in the quest for power, as per the official plotline. 

The ensemble cast includes Aditi Rao Hydari as Anarkali, Aashim Gulati as Prince Salim, Taha Shah as Prince Murad, Shubham Kumar Mehra as Prince Daniyal, Sandhya Mridul as Queen Jodha Bai, Zareena Wahab as Queen Salima, Sauraseni Maitra as Mehr un Nisa and Rahul Bose as Mirza Hakim.  

William Borthwick is the showrunner of "Taj" with Simon Fantauzzo as the writer and Ronald Scalpello as the director. 
 
Dharmendra will also be seen in Karan Johar's 'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani'.
