JODHA AKBAR HRITHIK ROSHAN PROFESSIONAL

Aishwarya is the most professional actress I've worked with. Even at the wrap-up party they were fine with each other. Aishwarya and Hrithik get along really well. Q: And what about these stories of how the two couldn't get along?Р”Р„: Absolutely untrue! I don't know how and why this is being said. It had to be aligned to the music and film release. Q: What's the truth about Hrithik and Aishwarya not doing the publicity for the film?Р”Р„: Not true at all. As you go to other levels the game gets complicated. I'd like to compare my struggle to release 'Jodhaa-Akbar' to a videogame where you play the first level very easily. I'm showcasing Jodha and Akbar.Р”Р„: No, I strained my back while lifting a heavy bag.Р”Р„: (Laughed) Well Hrithik, Aishwarya and I have certainly been carrying an awesome burden on our shoulders.

I treasure every song that I record and wouldn't dream of cutting them for length. There're only five songs recorded for 'Jodhaa-Akbar'. Q: Is it true you're cutting two of the songs?Р”Р„: No. The (erstwhile) Maharani of Jaipur, Rani Padmini, who's a direct descendent of Jodhabai, and her husband flew down to release the music. UTV Music, a label that Ronnie Screwvala wanted to start later during the year, was launched in a hurry to release the 'Jodhaa-Akbar' music. But we didn't agree on certain rights issues for the music, so we parted. Q: Is it true that a company dumped the music of 'Jodhaa-Akbar'?Р”Р„: It's true that we were looking at an association with Big Music.
