Ashutosh Gowariker unveiled his film Jodhaa Akbar’s trailer

In much hype and hoopla, Ashutosh Gowariker unveiled his film Jodhaa Akbar’s trailer exclusively for the media on Oct 10. Why did Hrithik and Ash didn’t grace the occasion was the question on everyone’s mind. However the question which kept haunting more was the one about Hrithik Roshan and his Akbari-thaat !

Post Dhoom2, Hrithik suddenly going the Mughal way was a little difficult to digest. From sporting low waist jeans and a bare chest to becoming the Mughal emperor Akbar... Hrithik’s transformation took us by surprise. Good he looked, which he always does... but would he be able to portray Akbar the emperor with the same panache the way Prithviraj Kapoor did in Mughal-E-Azam ?

The modest Ashutosh Gowariker gives a perfect reply. “I’ve not tried to outdo Mughal-E-Azam in this film. That film is a classic and is beyond compare. Also I regard Prithviraj Kapoor as the finest actors of Indian cinema and what he has done in Mughal-E-Azam will stay in our hearts forever. However Hrithik cannot be compared to Prithviraj Kapoor as he has played young Akbar in the film unlike Prithviraj Kapoor who played an ageing Akbar.”
