Jodhaa Akbar, his latest offering, is worth watching for its setting, its captivating photography, its direction, its grandeur. What matters is what the film underlines in terms of tolerance and understanding of different faiths and religions and that too in a turbulent period of the 16the century that saw a lot of blood flow as the Mughals consolidated their position in India.Д¬learly, Gowariker is a man to watch. Once you watch the film, you will realize that it really does not matter if Jodha was Akbar's wife or daughter-in-law. And it will be long before we can actually have space in our minds to tolerate different perspectives. More than anything else, it is a sure sign of how we have to mature into realizing that art and history are not the same. There have been protests in Rajasthan and different places nit picking on his interpretation. Gowariker says as much in a disclaimer, but who cares. No one knows the truth as different people down the centuries have interpreted it differently. The dust kicked up on the release of Ashutosh Gowariker's, Jodha Akbar, is a case in point. And as the news hungry media laps it up, we are fed another non-issue. 'Jodhaa Akbar' is directed and co-produced by Ashutosh Gowarikar, and produced by UTV Motion Pictures and is scheduled to release on February 15, 2008.People in India do not need a real reason to stir up a controversy. The song вЂAzeem o shaan ShahenshahвЂ™ featured about 1000 dancers, wielding swords and shields in Karjat. Over 80 elephants, 100 horses and 55 camels were used in the movie. A research team of historians and scholars was hired from New Delhi, Lucknow, Agra and Jaipur to keep the film historically accurate. The film made at a whopping budget of Rs.400 million, promises to be a sheer spectacle to watch. 'Jodhaa Akbar' is their untold love story. Jodhaa resents being reduced to a mere political pawn in this marriage of alliance, and AkbarвЂ™s biggest challenge now did not merely lie in winning battles, but in winning the love of Jodhaa вЂ“ a love hidden deep below resentment and extreme prejudice.ДЇrom the battlefield where the young Jalaluddin was crowned, through the conquests that won him the title of Akbar the Great (вЂAkbarвЂ™ in Arabic means great), to winning the love of the beautiful Jodhaa, 'Jodhaa Akbar' traces the impressive graph of the mighty emperor and his romance with a defiant princess.

When Akbar accepts the marriage proposal, little does he know that in his efforts to strengthen his relations with the Rajputs, he would in turn be embarking on a new journey вЂ“ the journey of true love. This epic romance begins as a marriage of alliance between two cultures and religions, for political gain, with Raja Bharmal of Amer (played by the veteran Kulbhushan Kharbanda ) giving his daughterвЂ™s hand to Emperor Akbar. Through a shrewd blend of diplomacy, intimidation and brute force, Akbar won the allegiance of the Rajputs, the strongest of the Hindu castes. After having secured the Hindu Kush, he furthered his realm by conquest until his empire extended from Afghanistan to the Bay of Bengal, and from the Himalayas to the Godavari River. Political success knew no bounds for Emperor Akbar (Hrithik Roshan). The dashing Hrithik Roshan plays the lead role of Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar for whom political success knew no bounds and the gorgeous Aishwarya Rai Bachchan plays the role of Jodhaa вЂ“ the daughter of Raja Bharmal of Amer. Set in the sixteenth century, Jodhaa Akbar is the story of the epic romance between Mughal Emperor Akbar the Great and a fiery young Rajput princess Jodhaa.
