Hrithik RoshanWhat Hrithik Roshan didn't like while playing Akbar

Though he is a perfectionist and plays every role with élan, there was literally a burden on Hrithik Roshan while playing the role of Akbar in Jodhaa Akbar .

In real life it is said that Hrithik doest not like wearing any kind of jewellery and he also finds it unnecessary for women to wear too much of glitter, even if it is his wife Suzanne for that matter.




So during the shooting of 'Jodhaa Akbar', Hrithik found it strange to adorn all the earrings and the heavy stuff that hung from his neck.

The armour that Hrithik wore in the period film had to be in sync with the historical character of Akbar. The gear reportedly weighed so much that it had an impact and his knees had to bear the brunt of it all.

Hrithik even found it impractical to wear such illogical attire.

He agreed that the character that he played was a historical one and in those times Kings wore tons of protection to save themselves from arrows and swords but Hrithik couldn’t seem to understand the sense of wearing such heavy duty armour and thereby restricting one’s own movement.

And with all that weight, falling is something that would have been inevitable.

During the entire shoot of ‘Jodhaa Akbar’, Hrithik was under strict medication and had to avoid his regular rigorous workouts, which he usually went through on a regular basis.

Directed by Ashutosh Gowarikar and starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan opposite Hrithik, ‘Jodhaa Akbar’ is scheduled to release on February 15.
