Majority of multiplexes in Indian states defying 'Akbar'

Jodha Akbar makers' troubles don't end with the assault from Rajasthan Rajputs. Majority of Indian multiplex chains like Inox theaters, Adlabs Cinemas, Fame chain, Fun Cinemas, Cinemax, Movietime etc also are shunning the producers and distributor UTV over the film. The movie is slated for release tomorrow however, it won't be much of a launch for the Mughal saga in India which had been hoping to shatter box office records.

The Hrithik Roshan - Aishwarya Rai starrer won't find home at any of the above mentioned multiplexes and single screens owned by these companies. So a total of around 300 prints expected by 'Akbar' will be of no avail.


The film, as it has been well known by now, is under fire from the Hindu formations around the country, with Rajputs taking the lead and calling for a combined nationwide counterstrike from all the states, for what they are calling is gross distortion of theirs and the Hindus' real struggle during the 500 year old era of the Muslims rule over large parts of India. Among the points of distortion they've put forth is the reality of the head queen, a muslim Mariam Zamani who's being depicted as a Hindu Jodha Bai by the Bollywood film.
