O.K. If it's not the Big B then what are the alternatives? Hrit... is not it. Salman.... daNga fasaad.... if they don't hang him first for manslaughter. Shahrukh....doesn't have enought "English" for the role. So who is left with a big name recognition?
My guess.... not everyone like every actor/ess.... would be Big B.
Now to talk about Meena Kumaari........? How to get that arranged? :)

Would Ameetabh (barring the age difference) be a strong candidate for the male role? I would guess this role would require someone of commanding presence?
This does sound like a movie worth watching.... if they created dresses like they did for Devdas...... :) to say nothing of the palace settings...!

I guess Ajay Devgan or Nana Patekar would be ideal contender for Shah Jehan. Shah Rukh would be too ugly and Hrithik Roshan would start dancing..
jannu, i guess madhuri dixit is the ideal choice for mumtaz cuz mumtaz died at the age of 39 and our madhuri’ji just looks 39 !! as far as shahjehan goes, I guess sunny deol as sardar shahjehan would be perfectly fit… and salman khan as bigada hua laadla - aurangzeb.. I guess since shah jehan was way older compared than mumtaz.. I would vote for dev anand.. in this movie he will die before mumtaz.. surprise climax..
Madhuri… now that’s a good choice. I had wanted to mention her last night but did. And for the rest… :k: You’re right on target. To think that Dev Anand will die at the end…
Ashwaria's pretty but i dunno i'd rather see her as Paro or some Indian queen because she doesn't have the looks of a mughal queen. Sonya Rizvi, the other Mumtaz Mahal suits the role more at least lookswise. I agree with the person that suggested Karisma Kapoor because as far as looks go, Karisma looks more like what i imagine Mumtaz Mahal to have looked like.
(i'm not taking acting, dancing or any other abilities into account).
i saw these pictures and heard that the film is under production since 2 years..
i dnt even think this one is comming out.. shes busy shooting with will smith and umrao jaan ada..
