Review of Jodhaa Akbar: will release on 15 February 2008

JODHAA AKBAR, a true love story which was placed between a great Mughal emperor and a Rajput princess. The film has acted by beauty queen Aishwarya Rai and Hrithic Roshan. We all know about Aishwarya’s beauty but we don’t know a secret good quality of her. And that is Aishwarya can sing as well. The news was hidden at first but exposed by AR Rahman. Just music composer AR Rahman discovered this excellence within Aishwarya gave away the sweet secret of Aishwarya at the music launch of JODHAA AKBAR.

AR Rahaman says, “There is an interesting story behind the song called Mana Mohana (song devoted to Lord Krishna) in the film, which is sung by singer Bela Shende. Initially Gowariker wanted Aishwarya to dub for the song, as he believed that she could sing the tune splendidly. However our dates never worked out. When Ash was ready I was busy recording something else and vice versa. The co-ordination didn’t happen. So Bela went ahead and sang this wonderful song.”

He added more, “Also I have sung one song myself, which is called Khwaja Mere Khwaja, a prayer which is regularly sung at Ajmer Sharif durgah. I had composed the song for myself much before Jodhaa Akbar was conceived! I just happened to make Gowariker hear the song. He loved it and said he wanted the song in the film.”

You would not see Amitabh Bachchan in the movie but he gave her voice in all set of the film, the same task he did for Gowariker Oscar-nominated Lagaan.

Amitabh Bachchan says about the movie JODHAA AKBAR, “Ashu included me in the cast and crew of Jodhaa in his speech. This is a little unfair for others as I am just giving a voiceover to the film. My association with Ashu goes back to Lagaan where I did the same. Lagaan did very well and I am sure Jodhaa Akbar will also repeat its success. My work in Jodhaa hasn’t started as yet.”

Hrithik Roshan injured during the shooting

Bollywood great hero Hrithik Roshan injured during the shooting. Recently he came back from Singapore after taking treatment of his knee. He has cured from his knee injury now, says he want to away from stunts for some days due to his knee fitness.

Hrithik says, “I need to be very careful for a while. No serious stunts and action scenes for a while. My body has served its warning rather effectively. I had no choice but to obey the warning signals. It would be some time before I get back into full-on action scenes.”

Hrithik’s birthday was in Last week and was turned now in 34. About birth day, Hritick says, I don’t think it is a special day. But it never turns out that way.”

“I wouldn't know. But, yes, the quantity of love that I receive on this day is overwhelming,” said Hrithik shamefully.

Hrithik has a son its name Hrenaan, is very cute, and is proud to give him all. He says, “The last year I've really had no time for the family. The injury has given me a chance to be at home and spend time with my wife and son."

About the birthday of this year Hrithik says, “It was one of the most well-organized music functions of my career. After that it was friend Ambika Hinduja's engagement party. So we went for that. Then we were home for the rest of the evening."
