The inability of BT to project the Chittore war from Akbar's pov. Fear of attack from Senas.🤔
When the enemity is projected from MP's pov, it is absolutely jaayaz to show Akbar like a monster. But from Akbar's pov, to praise his emphatic win is blasphemous perhaps according to the ph and trp janta as well. Also they can't give Jodha begum credits for the win.😡
Sorry to be blunt but this argument is ridiculous to me. Ekta is not following history, she is being inspired by it(I am in a generous mood today). She will include whatever historical events she wants to show, exclude whatever events she does not want to show and invent incidents that have no bearing with history.
Ekta, can do all this and no one in his right mind is going to protest. If someone asks why didn't you show brutal side of Akbar at Chittor. Ekta's answer will be, I have already shown the savage side of his personality in the beginning of the serial. If Ekta wants, she does not need to show a single battle in Akbar's active career and there will not be a peep from anybody. Of course that will lower the quality of the show, so a fine balance between the two is needed.
I have not seen a single historical serial which slavishly follows facts from history. Our serial still has some resemblance to history, in another serial running on SONY at the moment, Akbar has already been defeated numerous times.
There may be leap or not, but not for the Chittor case.
