MUMBAI: Zubeidaa , an inter-faith love story between an actor and a Rajasthani king, did not earn money at the time of its release twenty years ago but the movie holds a special place in director Shyam Benegal s heart as it reflects a period of transition in India - from a feudal society to a democratic one.
Benegal said the story of Zubeidaa Begum caught his attention when he read Khalid Mohamed s article in a newspaper and he thought it was a beautiful love story.
