We recently told you that the gorgeous Aishwarya Rai will star as Jodhabai in Ashutosh Gowarikar ‘s next film, which has Hrithik Roshan as Akbar the Great. Here is why she agreed to do the film.

Ash tells an entertainment website that while she was shooting in London for ‘Provoked’, she got an SMS from Gowarikar, which read "WILL U B MY JODHA?" And Ash instantly responded by saying yes and the two later met in Mumbai and shook hands on the deal.

An admirer of Gowarikar's works, Ash is all praise for his commitment. "I love the painstaking research he does for each film. It showed in Lagaan and Swades .

"For 'Jodha-Akbar', he's going into reams and reams of homework. It's almost like rediscovering a whole new era with the director... a very fascinating process for any actor, specially at a time when he or she is trying to discover new facets to her personality, like I am."

Pausing for thought, she continues: "Ashutosh had made it clear from the start that it would be either a new girl or me for Jodha. I respected his clear-headed thinking. When he came to me I was delighted."

Ash added that she has been paired with Hrithik in not one but tow films now, first 'Dhoom 2' and now 'Jodha-Akbar' but the two films that are distinctly different.

Ash was all praise for Hrithik.

"I've done a world tour with him. He's such a focused, dedicated and passionate actor. Working with him would definitely be an enriching experience. With every film I hope to evolve as an actor. With someone like Hrithik for a co-star that process of growth becomes even easier."
