UTV Motion Pictures and Ashutosh Gowariker’s much awaited epic romance
JODHAA AKBAR, starring Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, is
slated for a worldwide release on 15th February, 2008. The soundtrack,
composed by music maestro A.R. Rahman and lyrics written by Javed
Akhtar, will release on 9th January through UTV’s new record label UTV
Music.

The change of release date is due to the fact that Ashutosh Gowariker
has been advised bed rest for 21 days with a severe back problem. The
director was scheduled to be in Chennai for this entire week to finish
the background score of the film, but could not move out because of
strict instructions from his doctors not to travel.

Referring to his back problem, Ashutosh stated, “I am sad that this had
to happen in the thick of post production; it is unfortunate, but it
has to be dealt with.”

Jodhaa Akbar – music release delayed

Jodhaa Akbar is the untold love story of the greatest Mughal emperor who ruled Hindustan With Hrithik Roshan as Akbar and Aishwarya Rai as Jodhaa. Film is directed by Lagaan fame Ashutosh Gowarikar.

The film Jodhaa Akbar is in a steep of problems. First, UTV wanted to back out of the film, then they bailed it out. Next, they had a hard time finding a music distributer. BIG music came along, and now is backing out. UTV has to launch its own music label to bail the music out again. It wont surprise me if the movie got postponed to Feb or March with music releasing in Jan sometime. As a fan of A R Rahman these series of events has been frustrating to watch. Hope that UTV promotes the music and movie with sincere effort.

Now UTV has the copyrights, and they will be licensing the expertise of Sony Music for the rest of the things. So lets hope for the best. They are now working hard 24×7 to release it on the 27th Dec.
