Mumbai/IBNS: Veteran actor Dharmendra is gearing up for his next project 'Taj: Divided By Blood' and his first look from the series has left his fans stunned.

He will play the role of Sheikh Salim Chishti, a Sufi saint, in the web series, which is based on the Mughal empire.

Along with a picture of his character, the 87-year-old wrote, “Friends, I am playing Shaikh Slim Chishti, a Sufi saint, in Taj – Divided by Blood. A small but important role…Need your good wishes.” Dharmendra, in a follow-up post, wrote, “Another look…… hope you like it.”

Naseeruddin Shah will play the role of Akbar in 'Taj: Divided By Blood', which will premiere on Zee5.

The series stars Aditi Rao Hydari as Anarkali and Aashim Gulati as Prince Salim.

Sandhya Mridul, Taha Shah, Rahul Bose and Shubham Kumar Mehra are also part of the show, directed by Ronald Scalpello.

Dharmendra will also be seen in Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, that will hit the theatres on July 28.

The film marks Karan Johar's return as a director with Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in titular roles. Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi are also part of the movie.
