A beautiful promotional video of the broadway version of K. Asif’s Mughal-e-Azam has gone viral on the Internet. Shared by 2010 batch IAS Shah Faesal, the video depicted some class moves by dancers on the famous Times Square in New York as “Jab Pyar Kiya Tou Darna Kya” played in the background.

The musical kickstarted its 13-city tour of the U.S. with a sensational flash mob at New York’s Times Square.

One of the greatest Bollywood blockbuster Mughal-e-Azam, starring Prithviraj Kapoor, Dilip Kumar and Madhubala, is one of the epic historical dramas to be made till date. Both in B/W and colour version it swept audiences off their feet with a love affair of Mughal Prince Salim (who went on to become Emperor Jahangir) and Anarkali, a court dancer.
