Both actors were very professional about learning sword-fighting.” One particular scene shows the shows Jodhaa and Akbar sword fighting each other, “There is a fight scene between Hrithik and Aishwarya.

It was a lot of effort but in the end I am sure it will be worth it.” Firstly I had to train them in horse riding for which we had to book the Mahalaxmi Race Course for about a month. And each of these action sequences took about a month and a half to complete. I had to teach Hrithik, Ash, Sonu Sood and the main villain Nikitin Dheer both horse riding and sword-fighting. The man in charge of the action sequences was stunt director Ravi Dewan and he recently talked about the massive undertaking that was Jodhaa Akbar.ĭewan said, “I was training about 15 to 17 actors in Jodhaa Akbar for these fight sequences. If that was not enough they had to make it look like it was natural. They not only had to learn sword fighting but also riding horses and in Hrithik’s case fighting an elephant. The cast, including stars Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had to go through intensive training to prepare to portray their roles.

Jodhaa Akbar is an epic film on every scale, from its cast, its director, its costumes and of course the incredible battle and action scenes in the film.
