Ashutosh Gowariker’s magnum opus Jodhaa Akbar marks its 17th anniversary of release this year, since its release in 2008. A sweeping historical romance, the film tells the epic tale of Mughal Emperor Akbar’s union with Rajput princess Jodhabai, brought to life by the stellar performances of Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Known for their on-screen chemistry, along with the grandeur and filmmaking skills of Gowariker, music by A.R. Rahman, the film is celebrated for many aspects.

The film’s journey—from its release to now being honoured with a special screening at the Academy—is an acknowledgment of the artistic contribution of everyone involved. The appreciation Jodhaa Akbar continues to receive is truly humbling, and I’m thrilled to see it resonate with audiences worldwide. This screening at the Academy is not just a celebration of the film but also of the rich cultural heritage it represents.”

Also starring Sonu Sood, Nikitin Dheer, Ila Arun, among others, the film features the eternal love story of Jodhaa and Akbar set against the backdrop of 16th century Mughal Era.
