Kunal Kapoor remembers reading Alex Rutherford’s Raiders from the North, the first book in the Empire of the Moghul series. Call it serendipity or what you will, but a few months later, the actor received a call from Nikkhil Advani, who offered him the role of Babur in The Empire. “Nikkhil said he has the book rights and wanted me to read the script.
