UTV Motion Pictures' and Ashutosh Gowariker Production's epic romance 'Jodhaa Akbar' starring Hrithik Roshan & Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will now be released in Tamil and Telugu on 7th March.
A grand star-studded premiere is planned at PVR in Hyderabad, for which the lead cast and crew including Ronnie Screwvala, Ashutosh Gowariker, Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Sonu Sood, Haider Ali, Kiiran Deohans, Nitin Desai and of course music maestro A. R. Rahman, will be attending.
Jodhaa Akbar has created history at the box office and is on a record-breaking spree; when one looks at the fact the film's length restricts it to three shows a day vis-a-vis the standard four shows, as well as the fact that the film has not been screened in Rajasthan, the box office collections are the highest ever, with phenomenal overseas collections as well. Not only has the film garnered one of the biggest openings all across but has managed to sustain its top spot even as it enters its third week.
UTV Motion Pictures and Ashutosh Gowariker Productions are releasing this magnum opus in Tamil and Telugu with 65 prints in Telugu and 60 prints in Tamil. This marks the first time for a Hindi film to host a premier for a dubbed version, and that too on such a grand scale.
Jodhaa Akbar is a sixteenth century love story about a marriage of alliance between the greatest Mughal emperor that ruled Hindustan, Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar, and the fiery young Rajput princess, Jodhaa.
