Paresh Rawal is a popular and powerful Bollywood actor, who is well-known for his strong screen presence and versatility. After giving several Bollywood hit films like Tiger Zinda Hai, Welcome Back, Shehzada, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Hera Pheri and more, Paresh Rawal is all set to return with yet another hard-hitting film, The Taj Story. Fans have been eager for this film because of its bold approach and powerful message. Well, the wait is finally over as the trailer of The Taj Story is out and is already generating buzz. 

The trailer of The Taj Story delves into the history of Taj Mahal

On October 16, 2025, the makers of the film, The Taj Story dropped its powerful trailer. The 3-minute-long trailer of the upcoming film introduces 'Vishnu Das' (played by Paresh Rawal), a local tour guide at the Taj Mahal, who goes on a mission to challenge the origin of the monument. What begins as just a curiosity soon turns into an intense courtroom showdown, as he wants a DNA test to be done to prove whether the monument is a tomb or a temple.

The trailer features Paresh Rawal and Zakir Hussain's character, whose dramatic debate on faith, historical record and intellectual ownership set the tone for the film. The trailer of the film also puts light on the 22 hidden rooms inside the Taj Mahal. The film is set for a theatrical release on October 31, 2025. One of the most powerful dialogues of the trailer is:

"Taj Mahal is not a symbol of love, it is a symbol of atrocity and genocide."

Is the film, The Taj Story based on true incidents?

As mentioned in the recently released trailer of the film, The Taj Story, the makers mention that the film is inspired by true events. It does not appear to be based on confirmed facts or events, but it explores the 'what-if' trajectory. In September 2025, the makers faced backlash from fans, when they released the poster of the film, showing Paresh Rawal lifting the dome of Taj Mahal, only to reveal a statue of Lord Shiva. After the backlash, Paresh Rawal issued a statement on his X handle, which said:

"The makers of the film 'The Taj Story' clarify that the movie does not deal with any religious matters, nor does it claim that a Shiv temple resides within the Taj Mahal. It focuses solely on historical facts. We would kindly request you to watch the film and form your own opinion."

Fans’ reaction to the trailer of The Taj Story

Within minutes of its release, a lot of fans expressed their thoughts on the trailer. While some appreciated the narrative, others shared their excitement to watch it. One user commented, "Every frame raises a question… every truth hits hard. This film isn’t just cinema, it’s a revelation." Another user wrote, "This movie will be bang...Paresh Rawal as usual comes with a terrific character and role." A third user penned, "I would love to see what is underneath it, and why the government don't want anyone to see!" Another user shared:

"The #TheTajStory trailer just released, and it's straight fire—exposing how the Mughals hijacked our ancient glories, slapping their names on masterpieces our forefathers bled to build. This isn't some flick but raw and unfiltered. I'm counting down to theaters!"
