Ashutosh
Gowariker's
Jodhaa
Akbar
is
the
untold
love
story
of
the
greatest
Mughal
emperor
who
ruled
Hindustan
(now

Jalaluddin
Mohammad
Akbar,
and
a
fiery
young
Rajput
princess,
Jodhaa.
Set
in
the
sixteenth
century,
this
epic
romance
begins
as
a
marriage
of
alliance
between
two
cultures
and
religions,
for
political
gain,
with
the
Hindu
King
Bharmal
of
Amer
giving
his
daughter's
hand
to
a
Muslim
Emperor,
Akbar.
When
Akbar
accepts
the
marriage
proposal,
little
does
he
know
that
in
his
efforts
to
strengthen
his
relations
with
the
Rajput,
he
would
in
turn
be
embarking
on
a
new
journey
-
the
journey
of
true
love?
From
the
battlefield
where
the
young
Jalaluddin
was
crowned,
through
the
conquests
that
won
him
the
title
of
Akbar
the
Great
('Akbar'
in
Arabic
means
great),
to
winning
the
love
of
the
beautiful
Jodhaa,
Jodhaa
Akbar
traces
the
impressive
graph
of
the
emperor
and
his
romance
with
a
defiant
princess.
With
Hritik
Roshan
as
Akbar
and
Aishwarya
Bachchan
as
Jodhaa,
this
grand
spectacle
is
produced
by
Ronnie
Screwvala
and
Ashutosh
Gowariker.
