Trivia |
|
|
|
| Feroz Nadiadwala, producer of Welcome, refused to attach the promos of Jodhaa Akbar to his film Welcome. UTV Motion Pictures, who are the official producers of Jodhaa Akbar, are distributing Welcome along with Studio 18, and contractually the production house can attach any promos they desire. However, Nadiadwala has prevented UTV Motion Pictures from putting the Jodhaa Akbar promos for reasons best known to him. |
|
| While shooting in Sambhar (Faloti village) in June for Jodhaa Akbar, sandstorms would occur at intervals of half hour. The unit could see the sandstorm coming 2-3 minutes away and they would only stop when it was half a minute a way, then immediately take cover and then come back to shoot as soon as the storm would pass. This would happen every half hour. |
|
| There is an elephant taming sequence in Jodhaa Akbar, a brief glimpse of which audiences have seen in the promo. In order to acquaint himself with the elephant and strike a comfort level, Hrithik Roshan used to travel to Karjat on days when he was not shooting, just to spend time with the elephant and feed her bananas at lunch. He called him Sweety pie and she would recognize his voice and his cologne. |
|
| When Punam Sinha used to come with family on the sets of Jodhaa Akbar, she used to come with Sindhi food for everyone on sets. But the assistants are still waiting for the sindhi kadhi that she promised to them. |
|
| Rajesh Vivek, who plays Chugtai Khan in Jodhaa Akbar, used to recite poetry to the horse while preparing for the scene where Akbar and his entourage enter Amer for the first time, post his marriage to Jodhaa. |
|
| Hrithik Roshan had a very "filmy" horse for Jodhaa Akbar. The horse used to know what words like action meant and so when she heard action, she would take off, even if the scene required her to be stationary. Hence the crew would use other words instead of action to avoid the horse taking off. The names of his horses were Chandni and Superman. |
|
| During the first schedule in Rajasthan for Jodhaa Akbar, the dressing of extras would begin at 5 am and take 4-5 hours to complete the task. All these extras were Rajasthani's who knew no English at all, yet during the course of the shooting, they started learning words like first pass, second pass, action. Etc. They were extremely well behaved and not like villagers but rather became like junior actors |
|
| Nikitin Dheer is as strong and suave as the new generation actors come. At 6'4, he is handsome and qualified. Being a third generation film man, he knows what it takes. Nikitin's father, Pankaj Dheer is a well-known actor-producer while his grandfather, C. L. Dheer was producer of as many as 19 Hindi films.
|
|
| Nikitin Dheer, who is among only 10 civilians who have undergone black cat commando training in unarmed combat and black belt, makes his debut with Ashutosh Gowarikar's Jodhaa Akbar as the main antagonist, a character only third in importance after Hrithik's Akbar and Aishwarya's Jodhaa.
