Jodha Akbar sold

Finally there’s something for the fans to cheer about Jodha Akbar. This Ashutosh Gowarikar’s film which has gone through quite a few Herculean hurdles, right from the start, is finally set to hit the screens on the 15th of February. The Hrithik-Aishwarya starrer has been in the cans for quite some time as Gowarikar had a few issues which needed to be sorted out with the Animal Rights activists who claimed that he was bringing harm to animals.

When this was taken care of, there was a fresh confusion if Jodha was the wife of Akbar or Jehangir. All is well that ends well and Jodha is finally ready for release.

It’s been quite some time now, since the Anil Ambani owned Reliance group has been trying its hand in the entertainment sector as well and now reports claim that this Reliance group is keen to buy Jodha Akbar from UTV for a whopping 90 crores.. Though sources opine that the film has been overpriced, it does not seem to bother Reliance especially when big names like Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai and Ashutosh are involved in a project. Music by A.R. Rehman has struck the chords yet again for Gowarikar after Swades.
