Paresh Rawal’s courtroom drama The Taj Story has expanded its reach by releasing on Lionsgate Play in Telugu and Tamil. The film, directed by Tushar Amrish Goel, initially premiered exclusively in Hindi and generated buzz for its provocative portrayal of the "Tejo Mahalaya" theory, which suggests that the Taj Mahal was originally a Hindu temple. Known for his versatility, Paresh Rawal leads a strong ensemble including Zakir Hussain, Amruta Khanvilkar, Namit Das, and Sneha Wagh, adding depth to the film’s contentious narrative.
Produced by CA Suresh Jha, The Taj Story attracted attention during its theatrical run despite a modest box office performance. The multi-language OTT release on Lionsgate Play via Amazon Prime Video now opens the film to a broader South Indian audience, sparking renewed discussions on social media about its themes. The director’s choice to highlight this disputed history has kept the film in conversations even months after release.
With this wider availability, fans and new viewers across regions can engage with the film’s bold take on history. The team is reportedly exploring further outreach to expand the film’s footprint in regional markets.
Experience the high-stakes courtroom battle in 'The Taj Story,' a gripping historical thriller powered by Paresh Rawal's fearless performance.
