According to Ashutosh Gowarikar, director of Jodhaa Akbar, he chose to make a romantic film with the hit cast of Dhoom 2 Aishwarya and Hrithik Roshan.
Says Ashutosh, “It was a dream cast to have Hrithik and Aishwarya. It was not at all my intention to cash in on the success of
their star pairing in ‘Dhoom 2’ because I did not cast them after I watched’ Dhoom 2.’
‘Jodhaa Akbar’ is my first attempt at making a romantic film. Romance fascinates me. What intrigued me was how Jodhaa and Akbar married without knowing each other.”
