dangermousieApparently Ashutosh Gowariker (the Bollywood director who made Lagaan and Swades, both excellent) is making an epic about the Mughal Emperor Akbar and his wifey Jodha. And in a casting decision that is sure to make my fangirlish heart sing in glee, he's cast Hrithik "thud, you are so hot" Roshan and Aishwarya "pervy men think you are the hottest woman ever" Rai. Apparently it will involve love blooming after their marriage. Which is where my confusion sets in. Maybe it's just me, but if someone who looked like Hrithik Roshan and was the bloody Emperor of entire India came offering love to me, I'd sure as hell jump at the chance. I guess that's where suspension of disbelief comes in.
Period epic. Romantic period epic. I love those and Bollywood does not make them nearly enough! Also, the thought of Hrithik and Ash dancing together (hey, he will finally have a dance partner as good as he is) is lovely. (Though who knows, would Akbar dance? I guess if Asoka did, why not?) Not to mention they look so physically matched together! If he wasn't married, I'd say they should be forced to breed purely in the interests of beautifying the human race. I really hope this will get made (yes, I am looking at you, Mr. Sunjay Leela "I will make Bajirao Mastani about a warrior king and his dancer lover and their angsty true-story love affair. But wait, no I won't" Bhansali).
For those who have no clue who Hrithik Roshan or Aishwaria Rai are, here are pics.
