He did it in Lagaan and now he will be doing it for Ashutosh Gowarikar’s Jodha Akbar as well. Amitabh Bachchan will be doing the voiceover for the epic romance which stars his daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan in the lead roles.

Thus Amitabh also joins the cast of Jodha Akbar. The Big B says that his association with Gowarikar goes back to the Lagaan days. So when Gowariker approached him for Jodha Akbar, he was more than happy to obilige. He is all set to do the voice over next week. For Ashutosh, there was no other choice but Amitabh to do the narration. It had to be someone who could convey both the gravity and the historicity of the occasion. And no, Bachchan is just being brought in because the film’s editing needs explaining but because the historical details need to be punctuated. And who better than the Big B?
