Naseeruddin Shah To Play Akbar In Webseries

Know the latest about Naseeruddin Shah and what's happening at his end

Is there a better actor than Naseeruddin Shah in this land? Not that we know of. The maverick actor is now all set to face the biggest challenge of his career.

Naseer will play the Moghul emperor Akbar in webseries being produced by Contiloe Entertainment.

Confirming this Naseer tells me, “It’s a series called TAJ. It is about Akbar and the battle of succession among his sons. I’m playing Akbar, and not at all like Papaji(Prithviraj Kapoor in Mughal-e-Azam)’s version!”

Naseer’s latest release Maarrich sank without a trace. Clearly his unfathomable talent is not being properly used on the big screen.Playing Akbar in a webseries might just be the boost that his career needs.
