The Storyline
One of the greatest Mughal rulers of India – Jallaluddin Mohammed Akbar (Hritik Roshan) and his fictional love affair with a Hindu Rajput princess – Jodha bai (Aishwariya Rai). The matrimony between them is fixed more as a political checkmate between king of Amer (Kulbhushan Kharbanda) and Akbar, but once Jodha and Akbar meet – the real love story evolves fascinatingly. The respectful and tolerant Akbar is shown giving enough leeway to listen to what Jodha has to communicate to him – verbally and non-verbally. This changes Akbar in the way he looks at his kingdom and subjects. There are a few sub-plots; one, the conflict between Jodha and her mother-in-law (Ila Arun), the treachery of Akbar's brother-in-law to topple him and rule India and the terrorist attack on Akbar.The Cast
