Fearing that his sultanate may collapse upon his death, Emperor Akbar reaches out to Salim, who has been in exile for the past 15 years following Anarkali's demise. Salim is determined to avenge his lost love, even if his father is hot on his trail. Meanwhile, there are many within the kingdom who are plotting to use the current circumstances to their advantage and crown Khusrau king. However, Salim has his own vile agenda on which he aims to unleash his anger, and after some shady manoeuvring, he eventually takes his seat on the trailer's titular throne.

In Taj: Reign of Revenge, 15 years after being banished, Salim goes on a murderous quest for revenge against those responsible for the death of his beloved.
