The latest buzz around Jodha Akbar is that UTV and Ashutosh Gowariker will be screening the first promo of the film at the Cannes Film Festival. The Cannes International Film Festival will be on from May 16-27.
"This is a big-budget film and Ronnie and Ashutosh wanted to tap the international market for it. Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai are big names in international market. Also, the film needs to be promoted abroad because period films are particularly in demand internationally," says our source.
Jodha Akbar has elicited a lot of interest ever since it went on the floors. This will be the first time that Hrithik and Aishwarya will be seen in a period film. Currently, Ashutosh is shooting at Nitin Desai's studio in Karjat to wrap up the film. He is expected to complete the film before he leaves for the festival.
"The three-minute promo will give a sneak peak of the film. After Hrithik and Ash's great chemistry in Dhoom 2, people are looking forward to seeing them together in Jodha Akbar," says our source.
Ash will be travelling with her in-laws and husband Abhishek to attend the Cannes Film Festival.[ "They will be holding a press conference followed by a grand party to interact with foreign media and distributors. This festival is considered to be the best platform to promote a film," says our source.
Incidentally, director Rituparno Ghosh has also been invited for the Cannes Film Festival for the Tous les Cinemas du Monde section which screens the best of world cinema. This year they will be screening Ghosh's black-and-white experimental film Dosar, starring Konkona Sen Sharma and Prosenjit Chatterjee.
