Here we bring the Theatrical Trailer of Jodha Akbar. The film Jodha Akbar is going to be released on 25th January 2008. Jodha Akbar is an epic period film based on history and fiction. The story depicts the romance between a Hindu Princess Jodha bai and Muslim Mughal Emperor Akbar.
It is a love story set in the sixteenth century. The film has been produced by Ronnie Screwvala and directed by Ashutosh Gowariker and the film stars the hit on-screen pair of Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai. A huge set was put up at Karjat to replicate the royal palaces and courts of the 16th century. The music for the film has been composed by A.R Rahman and the story has been written by Haider Ali.
The Bachchans, including actress Aishwarya Rai will be working together and what better platform than the Amitabh Bachchan-promoted IIFA to make that announcement at? Surprisingly, you'll not be seeing the Bachchan family in any film together but on a world tour called Unforgettable.
“I feel priviledged to be part of this group of youngsters,” said the senior Bachchan.
Now, what’s going to be unforgettable for Aishwarya is the chance to be on stage performing live with her father-in-law.
“I am looking forward to working with my father-in-law,” said Aishwarya.

She is almost a regular at Cannes Film Festival now but this time round Aishwarya Rai greeted the press for the first time as a Bachchan. Here are soem exclusive pictures of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan at Cannes..
In their first public appearance after marriage, actor couple Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan walked the red carpet at the opening ceremony of Cannes Film Festival. Seven Indian films screened at Cannes, including Mani Ratnam's Guru, which stars the newly-weds.
Life after marriage is "wonderful" for the new Mrs Bachchan who is currently on a honeymoon with her actor-husband Abhishek and gets ready to return to work in a week's time.
"I am feeling wonderful. I am very happy. By the grace of God, everything is wonderful," Aishwarya Bachchan nee Rai told a TV channel in Cannes where she is set to walk the red carpet with her husband at the film festival.
In perhaps her first interview after her marriage on April 19, the Bollywood actress said: "It's all things good. It's a blessing. And it's a wonderful family," she said, going on to describe Abhishek as "superlative and fantastic.”
Aishwarya said she had found wonderful parents in her parents-in-law Amitabh and Jaya. Asked if she had changed after marriage, she said, "No. I am just a normal girl in a wonderful time of my life, a very special time. It's fantastic. It's all things good."
Aishwarya said she was at the Cannes Film Festival for a day after which she would continue with her holiday that is at its fag end. She said she was looking forward to working with husband Abhishek and father-in-law Amitabh in Sarkar II.
"...This will be kind of working with family as we are all related now. It's always a privilege to work with actors like Abhishek and an iconic legend like my father-in-law," Aishwarya said.
Aishwarya Rai, now Bachchan, is all set to return to work in June with her father- in- law and Big B of the film industry in Ram Gopal Varma’s sequel ‘ Sarkar 2.’ Aishwarya is playing the pivotal role of Nagre family’s daughter-in-law who takes an active interest in maintaining the powerful hold of the family after the patriarch played by Amitabh Bachchan recedes into the background and Abhishek takes the charge.
As a source reveals, ‘ Aishwarya dates are confirmed for Ramu’s project. She has, in fact, the most important role in the sequel. While the senior Bachchan becomes a shadowy figure in Sarkar 2, the new godfather played by Abhishek Bachchan looks to his wife as the power behind the family throne in Sarkar 2. Work is also on for the grand concert tour that the three Bachcans are undertaking in the middle of 2008.’
Newly-married Ash will need the skills to play warrior queen Jhansi ki Rani in a new movie, director Ketan Mehta told the Mumbai Mirror in an interview published on Friday.
''Ash will undergo intensive training,'' Mehta said. ''The role demands a lot of action scenes.''
Ash is to play Rani Lakshmibai, the legendary ruler of of Jhansi, who played a key role in the failed 1857 uprising against India's then British colonial rulers.
Lakshmibai died aged 23 on the battlefield while fighting British soldiers in 1858.
Mehta said he was completing the script for the Jhansi Ki Rani and the cast would include British actors. He also plans to hire British technicians and trainers for the action sequences.

As the date is now finalised as 20th April, here are some details about Ash-Abhi wedding
The young couple will wed at 6:30 pm at Jalsa, Bachchan's residence in Mumbai.
Incidentally, the Bachchans wanted the wedding to take place on April 19 but the day -- called Bharani Krittika -- is considered inauspicious for the Rais, due to the placement of the stars.
The sangeet will take place on April 18 at Jalsa, while the mehendi will take place the next day at Ash's residence, La Mer, in Bandra.
The bidaai (when the bride bids goodbye to her parents) will take place on April 21, at her residence.
The wedding may be a huge affair for the film industry, but the Bachchans hope to keep it small as Amitabh Bachchan's mother Teji is in hospital. They will invite a small number of people like family, Amar Singh and the Ambanis. The Rais will invite only 25-30 guests from their side.
