Gandhigiri puts Jodhaa Akbar in trouble 
By Bollywood Hungama News Network, February 4, 2008 - 18:21 IST
Gandhigiri is creating problems for Ashutosh Gowarikar's Jodhaa Akbar. A Rajput organization carried out a non-violent appeal against the screening of the film.
The workers of the organization presented roses to cinema hall owners and pleaded to not screen Jodhaa Akbar claiming that Ashutosh Gowarikar has altered history. Where the film is about the love between Jodhabai and Akbar, the organization says that Jodhabai was married to Akbar's son Salim alias Jehangir. In addition to that, Jodhabai was not the daughter of Raja Bharmal of Amber as shown in the film. The princess was the daughter of Motaraja Udai Singh of Marwar.
Narendra Rajawat, head of the Rajput Sabha said that Ashutosh is hurting the Rajput sentiments by featuring wrong facts in his film.
However, the Jaipur Royal family has no complains with the film and its story.
