This historic epic focuses on a marriage of alliance that gave birth to true love between the great Muslim Emperor, Akbar (Hrithik Roshan) and a Hindu Rajput princess, Jodhaa (Aishwarya Rai).
Set in the sixteenth century, Emperor Akbar's success knew no bounds. After having secured the Hindu Kush, he furthered his realm by conquest.

As a result, his empire extended from Afghanistan to the Bay of Bengal, and from the Himalayas to the Godhavari River.

Through a shrewd blend of tolerance, generosity and force, Akbar won the allegiance of the Rajputs, the most belligerent Hindus.
But little did Akbar know that when he married Jodhaa, a fiery Rajput princess, in order to strengthen his relations with the Rajputs, he would in turn be embarking upon a new journey - the journey of true love.

The daughter of King Bharmal of Amer, Jodhaa resented the fact that she was being reduced to a mere political pawn in this marriage of alliance.

Akbar's biggest challenge now lies in winning the love of Jodhaa - a love hidden deep below resentment and extreme prejudice.

Jodhaa Akbar is their untold love story being directed and produced by Ashutosh Gowariker, the director of Oscar-nominated Lagaan.
In order to keep the story close to the actual historic events, Ashutosh Gowariker hired a team of historians and scholars from New Delhi, Lucknow, Agra and Jaipur to guide him with the screenplay.
