Jodha Akbar invites Fresh Trouble
Trouble seems to be far from over for Bollywood director Ashutosh Gowarikar’s mega budget venture Jodha Akbar with leaders of Rajput community here threatening to stall it release in the state alleging distortion of facts.The film, which Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai in the lead roles, is scheduled to be released on 15 February. President of Rajput Karni Sena, Lokendra Kalvi, said that the Sena had apprehended distortion of Rajasthan’s historical facts in Jodha Akbar, which is based on Jodhpur raj gharana.
The Karni Sena would watch the movie when released, and if required it would not allow its screening in the state, Kalvi said. Earlier, the Rajput Mahasabha had also alleged misinterpretation of historical facts. They maintained that Jodha was Jehangir’s wife and not Akbar’s as shown in K Asif’s Mughal-E-Azam earlier and now in Jodha Akbar. The Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, a body registered with the Animal Welfare Board of India, had also issued a letter to Gowarikar asking him if had the required permission for using animals in his film.
