‘The Taj Story’ teaser: Paresh Rawal declares war against ‘intellectual terrorism’

MUMBAI: Bollywood veteran Paresh Rawal has waged a war against “slavery of intellectual terrorism” in the teaser of his upcoming film, ‘The Taj Story.’ The official teaser for the film was unveiled on Thursday, showing Rawal leading a strong argument inside the courtroom.

“After 79 years of Independence, are we still a slave of Intellectual Terrorism?” the makers have strongly raised the issue. A social drama focused on India’s historical background, the film’s narrative sparks discussions on a topic that has hounded the country for decades.

“Who really built the Taj Mahal? Was it Shah Jahan, or does history hide another truth? The film dives into this contested narrative, blending social commentary with a re-examination of historical facts, ensuring it will be as thought-provoking as it is dramatic”, the maker said, as per the release.
