Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Spending Busy Time with Acting in Few Movies

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is spending busy time at the shooting spot of two movies- Raavan and Robot. Besides these two movies, Aishwarya is also shooting for her next English movie The Pink Panther 2 where she is acting opposite Steve Martin. The Pink Panther 2 will most probably get released on 6 February 2009. Moreover, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will also act opposite heart-throb Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan in the next directorial venture of Sanjay Leela Bhansali. This will be third movie for Aishwarya-Hrithik pair. Earlier, two movies: Dhoom 2 and Jodhaa Akbar, starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Hrithik Roshan, got released and both the movies fared well in the box office. Directed by Sanjay Gadhvi, Dhoom 2 was released in three languages on 24 November 2006. In fact, Dhoom 2 was the biggest hit of Bollywood in 2006. Next movie of this pair, Jodhaa Akbar, was released on 19 February 2008. Besides Hindi, this movie got released in Urdu too, though it was not as successful as Dhoom 2. At present, Aishwarya-Hrithik pair is considered to be one of the most popular on-screen pairs in Bollywood. In fact, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Hrithik Roshan pair got popularity after the release of Dhoom 2.

As far as I know, Bachchan family asked Aishwarya not to continue acting after she married Abhishek Bachchan. However, it is not something prestigious for an actor. I think, Aishwarya Rai expressed the true identity of an actor by deciding to act opposite Hrithik Roshan.

All about Hrithik Roshan from a fans view

Among the young actors in Bollywood, Hrithik Roshan is the top actor. Hrithik Roshan does not have too many movies to his credits. In his eight year acting career, he starred in movies.

Hrithik Roshan started as a child artist. He first appeared in Aasha at the age of six. This was followed by Aap Ke Deewane (1980) and Bhagwan Dada (1986).

Hrithik Roshan was born to a family of movie makers. His father Rakesh Roshan acted in many movies but he could not gain much success. Then he turned to directing. Over the years, Rakesh Roshan made movies like Karan Arjun, Koyla Khudgarz, Khoon Bhari Maang, Kishen Kanhaiya. His uncle Rajesh Roshan is a music director.

Before acting in movies, Hrithik Roshan assisted his father, Rakesh Roshan in Karan Arjun and Koyla. He worked as assistant director. This was a great learning experience for young Hrithik Roshan.

As an actor, Hrithik Roshan did not have to struggle a lot. He is one of those rare breed of actors in Bollywood who found success in their debut movies. In 2000, Hrithik Roshan debuted in Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai. The movie was directed by his father, Rakesh Roshan and the music was composed by his uncle, Rajesh Roshan. In Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai, Amisha Patel starred opposite Hrithik Roshan. Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai went on to become the biggest hit of 2000 and established Hrithik Roshan as one the most top and talented actor of Bollywood. The movie became very popular among youngsters and the songs were also equally successful. The movie also established Hrithik Roshan as one of the most talented dancers in Bollywood as well. Unfortunately, in the next three years, Hrithik Roshan did not give any big hits. Though the movies he did during this period earned him critical appreciation.

Movies of Hrithik Roshan:

In the present day Bollywood industry, after Aamir Khan, there is one actor who is considered to be a perfectionist to the core and that is Hrithik Roshan. In his eight years of acting career, he only did fourteen movies (he also made several special appearances and guest appearances). Many of his movies did poorly but his performance is always appreciated by the critics. The major movies in Hrithik Roshan’s career are:

Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai

Mission Kashmir

Krrish

Dhoom 2

His unsuccessful movies are:

Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage

Na Tum Jaano Na Hum

Mujhse Dosti Karoge!

Lakshya

Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon

Among these movies, Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage, Na Tum Jaano Na Hum, and Mujhse Dosti Karoge! Were released in 2002 and all these movies did lower than average business.

Major movies in Hrithik Roshan’s career:

Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai: A romantic-action movie, Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai, is one of the most popular movies based on the theme of reincarnation. Hrithik Roshan essayed two different characters in this movie. In the first part of the movie, Hrithik Roshan played the character of Rohit, who is a talented salesman and aspiring singer. In the second part, he played the character of Raj Chopra, son of a wealthy NRI business man in New Zealand. Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai, had all the necessary elements to become a successful movie, exclusive foreign locations, great songs and dance sequence. Rakesh Roshan spared no cost to make the movie a big one. He even rented a ship which is the only ship in the world that runs on sails and the crew shot in the ship for fifteen days. The dance sequence was choreographed by famous choreographer Farah Khan.

Fiza: Fiza is an offbeat cinema. It was written and directed by a reputed director, Khalid Mohammed. The movie did poorly at the box office but the acting of the three main characters- Hrithik Roshan, Karisma Kapoor and Jaya Bachchan, were highly praised by the critics. The movie tells the story of a Muslim family in Mumbai. Fiza (Karisma Kapoor) is the eldest child of the family, who lives with her mother, Nishatbi (Jaya Bachchan). Fiza’s brother, Amaan (Hrithik Roshan) disappeared during the 1993 Mumbai riot. Amaan ends up joining a terrorist group.

Mission Kashmir: Like Fiza, Mission Kashmir was directed by another famous Bollywood director, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and this movie also deals with the life of a Muslim terrorist. Hrithik Roshan played the role of Altaaf, a young boy whose family was killed by his adoptive father, a police inspector. After growing up, Altaaf joins a terrorist group to take revenge on the killer of his family. The screenplay of Mission Kashmir was written by Suketu Mehta who became the Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2005.

Koi Mil Gaya: This movie is special in Bollywood because it is the first Hindi movie on aliens. The movie is inspired from an Indonesian television Si Yoyo. Directed by Rakesh Roshan, Hrithik Roshan essayed two different characters in this movie. In the first half, Hrithik Roshan played the role of an autistic person. He is healed after he meets the alien and becomes intelligent and stronger than average people.

Koi Mil Gaya went on to become the biggest hit of 2003. For playing the role of a mentally challenged person, Hrithik Roshan won Filmfare Best Actor Award and Filmfare Critics Award. This was Hrithik Roshan’s second hit movie after Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai.

Krrish: Krrish is the sequel of Koi Mil Gaya. This movie is also special in Bollywood because it is the first Hindi superhero movie.

After his father was deceased, Krishna’s mother died. Krishna is brought up by her grandmother in a remote village. Krishna then goes to Singapore to win the heart of Priya whom he fell in love with. There he comes to know that his father is alive and being held captive by an evil scientist. Krishna then saves his father.

Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham: Directed by Karan Johar, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham is one of the biggest hits of 2001 but in this movie, Hrithik Roshan played a supporting role.

ACP Jai Dixit (Abhishek Bachchan), his former classmate ACP Shonali Bose (Bipasha Basu), and Sub Inspector Ali Akbar (Uday Chopra) are in pursuit of Mr.A. In the first week, the movie collected $979,001 in US. It is one of the highest grossing movies ever made in Bollywood. However, it failed to garner any critical acclaim.

Jodhaa Akbar: This is a historical movie based on the marriage of Mughal Emperor Akbar and Rajput Princess Jodhabai. Jodhaa Akbar was directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, who directed famous historical movie, Lagaan in 2001. It is one of the most expensive movies ever made in India. The movie was shot over one full year. The Rajput society harshly criticized the movie saying that Ashutosh Gowariker was distorting history. They told him to change the story of the movie. Due to serious opposition, the movie did not release in Rajasthan. Jodhaa Akbar did not do very good in India but it did well in UK and USA.

Hrithik Roshan’s upcoming movie is going to be directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

More than hundreds of youth belongings of Rajput community staged a protest demonstration and given slogan in loud voice against the producer Ashutosh Goyarikar’s film Jodhaa Akbar.

Rajputs have raised strong objection on Jodhaa Bai's origin. According to Rajputs, Jodhaa Bai was the daughter-in-law of Akbar, and not his wife, as shown in the film.

Lokendra Singh Kalvi, the chief patron of the Karni Sena, said that they would work at all-India level to bring together organizations representing 'Kashtriya' clan (Warrior clan) and voice opposition against "obscenity being committed on the history".

It was known from historic sources that Jodhaa Bai was not the wife of Akbar. So, there is going argue controversy among different levels which is the correct history.

Jodhaa-Akbar is a historic deep love romance between Mughal emperor Akbar and his wife Jodhaa, who is a Hindu communal. Hrithik Roshan acted the role of Akbar and Aishwarya Rai in the role of Jodhaa Bai in the film Jodhaa-Akbar.

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 15^th 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.

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.

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.”

Aishwarya Rai fails to take the opportunity to sing in 'Jodhaa Akbar'

The director of Jodhaa Akber, Ashutosh Gowarikar wanted that stunning Aishwarya Rai to sing a song in her own voice in Jodhaa-Akbar.

It was supposed that Aishwarya would sing the in track Mann Mohanna. Composer AR Rahman confirmed saying, “Ashutosh strongly felt that Aishwarya could record the song in her own voice, as a bonus for her fans."

It is a matter of sorrow for Aishwarya’s fan because Aishwarya was very busy when the song was recorded. At last the song has been recorded by Bela Shende.

The story of the movie is historical in the sixteenth century and in this movie the romance begins with a marriage alliance between two cultures and religions.

Aishwarya acted as Jodhaa Bai and Hrithik Roshan in the lead character of Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar in the movie. The movie ‘jodhaa Akbar’ is scheduled to release on 15 February 2008. It is expecting that the epic romance movie will be super hit.

Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai the Attractive pair

Prominent director Ashutosh Gowariker has made the historical movie Jodhaa-Akbar where he has formed two historical character one Jodhaa and another Akbar. Here, he has fascinated the relation between Jodhaa and Akbar after marriage.

Gowariker said, “I feel if today we make a story about the past, it must be correlated to the present. And 'Jodhaa-Akbar' is as relevant to the present as arranged marriages. Jodha and Akbar shared a perfect arranged marriage. I was fascinated by how their relationship must have grown after marriage.”

The two most craze of Bollywood Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan acted in the lead character of the movie is set to hit on15 February. The movie is dubbing in Telugu and Tamil language.

About Jodhaa-Akbar, Gowariker said, “Jodhaa-Akbar is to me a historical. Anything after 1857 is a period film for me. Anything before that is a historical. Jodhaa-Akbar is certainly not a costume drama. It isn't set in a never-never land. I'd call Mughal-e-Azam a historical though its focus was different from mine. I've taken extreme care to make sure viewers believe in the relationship.”

About the religious difference between Jodha and Akbar, he said, “it’s important but not stressed in my film. Let's not forget, Akbar's marriage to Jodhabai was no common occurrence. It had a nationwide reverberation 450 years ago when society was far more conservative. How did their marriage affect those times? That's a question relevant even today. But I'm not jingoistic in my treatment.”

Gowariker has said about the pair of Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan- That won't be a problem. The audience will come in and forget everything about Hrithik and Aishwarya. Hrithik-Aishwarya's pairing is incredible. They're extremely charismatic and good-looking. They were a huge success in the contemporary Dhoom 2. That can only help my film, not harm it.

What audiences will see in my film are Jodha and Akbar. At least that's what I've tried to ensure through their looks, body language and behavior. I wanted to make my historical as believable as I'd like to see it being.
