Also on set, looking comical, was Paresh Rawal in a blue angrakha and grey moustache.
Mallika's look in the film has been styled by designers Ashley Rebello and Anita Dongre.
Anu Malik is the composer for the film.
Talking about the song Pyaar kiya toh darna kiya, which has been sung to a completely different tune than the original, Anu Malik said, "Let me first make it very clear that no one can ever repeat or even remotely come close to the original song 'Pyaar kiya toh darna kya' from Mughal-E-Azam. For me, that song is one of the best songs in the history of our film industry. It was not only melodious but also extremely well written. And who can forget Madhubala in the song?"
Malik says Maan Gaye Mughal-e-Azam is a comedy and the song has been adapted to modern times and has "a lot of funny lines."
