Ashutosh Gowariker's magnum opus JODHAA AKBAR has not only captured the hearts of audiences in India but has also won accolades internationally.
Yesterday, JODHAA AKBAR won the prestigious Grand Pix award at Golden Minbar, the Film Festival for Muslim Cinema which is held at Kazan, Russia. Not only this but also the lead actor, Hrithik Roshan, was awarded the Best Actor award for his magnificent performance as Emperor Akbar.
JODHAA AKBAR shared the Best Film honours with an Iranian film, M FOR MOTHER. The films were selected by the Jury in the Official Selection consisting of 35 films in Competition (10 Full–length feature film, 12 Short–length feature films and 13 Documentary films).
'This is wonderful! I am overwhelmed with this news. It is an honour not only for me and my co–producer Ronnie Screwvala, but for the entire team of JODHAA AKBAR. And I would like to thank the Jury for it. I am especially happy and proud that Hrithik won the Best Actor. His portrayal of Akbar is a magnificent one, full of nuances and detailing which is very rarely seen on screen. I would also like to thank the Organizers for including JODHAA AKBAR in The International Film Festival of Muslim Cinema Golden Minbar', said a very honored and grateful Ashutosh Gowariker.

Hrithik holidays in Bora Bora with family
BY SHAMA BHAGAT
After shooting for his home production Kites, Hrithik Roshan is now planning to take a long break along with his family in Bora Bora. Bora Bora is some 160 miles from Tahiti and is said to be a tourist’s paradise. Hrithik had promised his wife Sussanne a holiday a long time ago. Recently, Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had also been to the island for a short holiday.
The Jodhaa Akbar star had preponed his Mumbai arrival by two days to attend the re-launch party of the famous Bandra pub, Poison. Sussanne’s sister Farah Khan Ali’s hubby DJ Aqeel is the in-house DJ of Poison. Hrithik was seen dancing alongwith Sussanne at the party post midnight. His English accent sounded different as well. Perhaps it was the Kites effect. The day after the party, he went off for his vacation with his family.
Earlier Sussanne and their two sons had joined Hrithik in the US during the last leg of the film’s shoot. Since Hrithik was so busy, they hardly got any time to holiday there. A source says, “Hrithik has just taken his family on a holiday for a week. He has given specific instructions to his business manager and secretary not to bother him with anything related to work. The next shooting schedule for Kites begins in November and there is still a lot of time for that. Hrithik has plans to come back just in time to celebrate Diwali at home alongwith his family and then relax till the shoot begins.”
