Ashutosh Gowariker had a plan to make “Jodhaa Akbar” before “Swades”
Not many will know that after the super success of “Lagaan” (2001), the next project that Ashutosh zeroed in was “Jodhaa Akbar“. Actually, writer Hyder Ali had narrated the story/script of “Jodhaa Akbar” to Ashutosh, even before “Swades” (2004). In fact, Ashutosh Gowariker found the project very exciting but decided to take it up after finishing the Shahrukh Khan starrer, “Swades”.
The reason for the above being that Ashutosh had realized that the grand spectacle of the historical demanded elaborate and time consuming research and arrangements on a massive scale. Therefore, it was only after a painstaking phase of pre-production and research that the filming of the magnum-opus commenced on 6th November 2006, in Rajasthan.
