The veteran actor dropped his first look on his official Twitter handle and wrote in the caption, “Friends, i am playing Shaikh Slim Chishti ….a sufi saint, in film Taaj. A small but an important role………need your good wishes” Almost unrecognizable as Sheikh Salim Chisti, the actor wears a lengthy robe, a turban, and a long white beard.

About Taj: Divided By Blood

A dramatized narrative based on actual events is titled Taj: Divided By Blood. A startling tale about the inner workings and succession drama that took place in the sacred halls of the Mughal Empire is how the series is characterized. The plot centers on King Akbar's (Naseeruddin Shah) search for a worthy heir throughout his reign. It highlights the rise and collapse of succeeding generations, displaying the great dynasty's beauty and savagery, their love of the arts, poetry, and architecture, as well as their incredibly callous choices about their own family in the pursuit of power.
