What challenges did the production of Mughal-e-Azam face?

Production faced setbacks such as the departure of producer Shiraz Ali Hakim after India’s partition and the death of actor Chandramohan, who was orginially cast as Akbar. It was revived with new financing from Shapoorji Pallonji Mistry and took nine years to complete, becoming the most expensive Indian production at the time.
