Ashutosh Gowarikar‘s Akbar Jodha is one of the most highly anticipated movies in Bollywood and the shooting for this historical epic has already commenced. For the uninitiated the movie revolves around the relationship between Mughal king Akbar, played by Hrithik Roshan and his Rajput wife, Jodha Bhai, played by Aishwarya Rai. The marriage was  initially a political move but it didn’t take long for the mighty Mughal King to fall in love with his Rajput princess who resented him deeply and harbored feelings of mistrust!
According to the grapevine this UTV production has 12 songs by A.R. Rahman and Gowarikar to lend authenticity to his movie has hired a team of scholars and historians from New Delhi, Lucknow, Agra and Jaipur. So looks like after giving us gems like Lagaan and Swades Asutosh is all set to enthrall us again.
