'Jodhaa Akbar' shunned in Rajasthan!

Ashutosh Gowarikar's historical period film starring Hrithik Roshan as Jalaluddin Akbar and Aishwarya Rai as Jodha Bai will be hitting a whooping 1500 theaters world wide today. When all the film goers and the fans of this epic romance drama will get to enjoy the film's release, those in Rajasthan will be devoid of this luxury.

The reason?

'Jodhaa Akbar' has been courting protests from a section of Rajputs who claim that this film is trying to distort historical facts. Though the Rajasthan High Court has issued orders for a trouble-free release of this film on Wednesday, the theater owners and cine hall managers feel other wise.

A hall manager of a theater in Jaipur has said that the theater owners are watching the developments on this crisis closely and would run the film only if there is no trouble absolutely. He also expressed that they did not want to get in to any trouble that would harm the general public.

It is reported that the worst fears for the theater owners are from the Rajput Sabha and the Rajput Karni Sena. The activists have appealed all cinema hall owners not to screen the movie in the state.

The Rajput community claims that Gowariker is presenting Jodhabai as Mughal emperor Jalaluddin Akbar's wife, which is not true.

According to them, Jodhabai was not the daughter of Raja Bharmal of Amber near Jaipur, as depicted in the film, but was the daughter of Motaraja Udai Singh of Marwar and was married to Akbar's son Salim aka Jehangir.

Lets us just hope that no violence erupts due to this and puts to danger the lives of the public.
