The quantity of ornaments was used for Jodhaa-Akbar

Dear Bollywood fans or the fans of Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai will get see them together in the forthcoming film Jodhaa Akbar that is going to screen on 15th February. The main theme of the film is the chemistry between the Rajput Princess Jodhaabai and the Mughal emperor Jalaluddin Modhammed Akber. We all know about the tale where most of the kings, queen, princes and princess ware precious ornaments. As Johhaa Akbar is a tale of deep love of the Jodhaa-Akbar so it is natural that both will wares expensive ornaments. To make this ornaments used huge numbers of workers jointly worked for 600 days.

Two hundred craftsmen worked for 600 days, moulded 400 kg of gold and precious and semi-precious stones to recreate jewelleries of Mughal era in Ashutosh Gowariker's historical romance Jodhaa Akbar, releasing Feb 15.

Tanishq, the leading jewellery brand, unveiled the jewellery worn by Aishwarya Rai, who plays the Rajput princess Jodhabai, and Hrithik Roshan, who plays Mughal emperor Jalaluddin Akbar, in the movie.

The exquisite pieces include sarpech (feather pin), archer's ring, arsi (mirror ring), bhor (head jewel like in Indian tika) and hansali (choker).

"The wedding set, which Aishwarya wears in the film, is very heavy. It weighs around three-and-a-half kg. It was difficult for her to wear them. In fact, in the interviews she said the hardest part was to wear the jewellery,” said Alpana Parida, head marketing & merchandising at Tanishq. “But that was how women lived those days and it is authentic."

Although, I did not watch the film Moghal-E-Azmam but I heard about it. The cinema intelligent are thinking that it is the sequel of that movie. We have to wait for 15 February how the move pressed the audiences and cinema viewers.
