After finishing his second Tamil movie in a row – for the less 
informed, they are Sivaji and the recently released ATM – Rahman is now busy 
finishing off Ashutosh Gowaikar directed epic tale Jodhaa Akbar starring 
Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai in the lead. The results of Ashutosh’s 
previous outings with Rahman for Lagaan and Swades need no elucidation.      
        Produced by UTV pictures, Jodhaa Akbar’s music rights were earlier sold 
to BIG Music. However, quoting lack of time for the promotion of the music and 
blaming producers UTV for the same, BIG Music recently withdrew from their 
contract. Music of Jodhaa Akbar will now be promoted by UTV, who for this sole 
purpose is launching a music label on their own. Higher officials at UTV swear 
that there is no better launchpad for their music label than releasing Rahman’s 
music.   Rahman’s music for Jodhaa Akbar has already raised the bar among 
critics and music lovers alike with its trailer, which had some great music by 
the maestro. Sources close to Rahman say that the music is very contemporary 
and one of his best.
