The latest buzz around Jodha Akbar is that UTV and Ashutosh Gowariker will be screening the first promo of the film at the Cannes Film Festival. The Cannes International Film Festival will be on from May 16-27.
“This is a big-budget film and Ronnie and Ashutosh wanted to tap the international market for it. Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai are big names in international market. Also, the film needs to be promoted abroad because period films are particularly in demand internationally,” says source.
Jodha Akbar has elicited a lot of interest ever since it went on the floors. This will be the first time that Hrithik and Aishwarya will be seen in a period film. Currently, Ashutosh is shooting at Nitin Desai’s studio in Karjat to wrap up the film. He is expected to complete the film before he leaves for the festival.
