The set is currently being constructed in his own studio called Nitin Desai Studio. Apart from this he has also constructed the Amar Singh darwaza, Diwan-E-Aam, Diwan-E-Khaas and the residential palace for Akbar and Jodha for the film. There is also a 1200 feet long and 50 feet tall fort in his studio.

The Visual Treat in Jodha Akbar

If you think you are watching a picture from the Mughal era, you are mistaken. Let us clear your misconception. This picture is taken on the sets of Ashutosh Govarikar's forthcoming film Jodhaa Akbar.

This royal set has been designed by none other than renowned art director Nitin Desai. After Dhoom 2 Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya will be seen once again in Jodha Akbar which is one of the big budget movies of the 2007. The set that resembles a massive fort from the Mughal era has been created in ND (Nitin Desai) studios at Karjat.

The whole set up has its own grace as the studio has turned into a lavish royal fort. There are some huge canons standing outside the fort. Most of artists were dressed in turbans and long sherwanis while women wearing Mughlai traditional costumes with dupattas were floating around. It seems Jodha Akbar will be a complete visual treat for the audience.
