Starring Dilip Kumar and Madhubala, K Asif’s cult classic was a difficult movie to begin with. Meanwhile, Naya Daur, now starring Vyjayanthimala as the female lead, was released and emerged a success.Ĭonsidered the best that Bollywood has to offer, Mughal-e-Azam easily finds a place in almost any list that compiles the best films that Hindi movie industry has ever made. It was the start to an end of their relationship. This led to a rift between Madhubala and Dilip Kumar. The court case lingered for four months and Dilip Kumar vouched for Chopra, going against Madhubala’s father. This is why Khan did not allow Madhubala to work in Naya Daur. Apparently some people had entered the shoot of that set and misbehaved with the women on the set.
Reportedly, in Gwalior, while Naya Daur was being shot, there was another film being shot which had experienced some hooliganism. The producer had asked Madhubala’s father to return the money but on Khan’s failure, he filed a legal suit against her. When persuasion from Chopra's side failed, he replaced Madhubala and filed a legal case against her and her father for cheating him, as Madhubala had already accepted an advance of Rs 30,000 and now she was not interested in completing the film. According to Chopra, Naya Daur was the kind of film that required the unit including Madhubala to travel to Bhopal for a 40-day location shoot, but her father insisted that the film be shot in the Bombay studios. A controversy broke when BR Chopra replaced Madhubala with actress Vyjayanthimala, causing much displeasure to Madhubala's father Ataullah Khan who would take care of her career and finances. The duo had started working on BR Chopra’s ‘Naya Daur’. They then worked in ‘Sangdil’, another massive hit that emboldened the Dilip Kumar-Madhubala pairing in the eyes of the audience and film producers.ĭilip Kumar and Madhubala, often inseparable, at public gatherings and movie premieres parted because of a legal tussle that came in between their relationship. The fling turned romance started with their first film together, ‘Tarana’ in which Madhubala played an uninhibited village beauty whose romance with a visiting doctor (Dilip Kumar) overcomes many hurdles and obstacles.
