Made in Rs 45 crore, lead actress wore 20 kg of real gold in THIS film, 50 guards used to protect her, jewellery was designed by..., the film is... Released in 2008, Jodhaa Akbar starred Aishwarya Rai Bachchan alongside Hrithik Roshan, Sonu Sood, Nikitin Dheer, and others. The film became one of the biggest blockbuster of the decade and the chemistry between Aishwarya and Hrithik garnered immense praise. Apart from this, the historical drama captivated audiences with its regally designed costumes worn by Aishwarya. From silk sarees to pure ornate lehengas, the exquisite pieces worn by her in the film created quite a stir on the internet. However, the major thing that came as a shocker was that the former Miss World wore a staggering 200 kg of jewellery pieces in the film. These exquisite pearls, ornaments and other luxurious metals were crafted with the support of 70 artisans. On the other hand, to ensure the safety of the jewellery, 50 guards were employed. Aishwarya Rai looked ethereal in every frame of the film. The actress wore all kinds of different jewelleries, ranging from polki necklaces, maang teeka, to Haathphool and glass bangles. Another intriguing detail to this historic tale is that Aishwarya discussed her own wedding attire with designer Neeta Lulla while donning her Jodhaa persona. She wanted to let go of movie's opulent costume, and opted for a stunning silk Kanjeevaram saree that evoked a strong sense of connection to her cultural roots. Helmed by Ashutosh Gowariker, Jodhaa Akbar became the third-highest grossing film of the year. The film garnered widespread appeal, and also earned two awards: Best Choreography for the song Azeem O Shaan Shahenshah and Best Costume Design- all thanks to Neeta Lulla's impressive work.
