story

Jodhaa Akbar is a sixteenth century Epic Romance about a marriage of alliance that gave birth to true love between a Rajput princess, Jodhaa and the great Mughal emperor, Akbar.

Politically, success knew no bounds for Emperor Akbar. After having secured the Hindu Kush, he furthered his realm by conquest until his empire extended from Afghanistan to the Bay of Bengal, and from the Himalayas to the Godavari River. Through a shrewd blend of tolerance, generosity, and force, Akbar won the allegiance of the Rajputs, the most belligerent Hindus. But little did Akbar know that when he married Jodhaa, a fiery Rajput princess, in order to further strengthen his relations with the Rajputs, he would in turn be embarking upon a new journey - the journey of true love.

The daughter of King Bharmal of Amer, Jodhaa resented being reduced to a mere political pawn in this marriage of alliance, and Akbar’s biggest challenge now did not merely lie in winning battles, but in winning the love of Jodhaa – a love hidden deep below resentment and extreme prejudice.

JODHAA AKBAR is their untold love story.

Trivia

Over 80 elephants, 100 horses and 55 camels were used in the filming of Jodhaa Akbar.

Hrithik Roshan had a horse that had some movie experience. The horse knew what words like action meant and so when she heard action, she would take off, even if the scene required her to stand still. Hence, the crew would use alternate words instead of action to avoid the horse from taking off.

The film was released in 115 theatres in the USA, making it the biggest American release ever for a Hindi film as of 2008.
