Jodhaa Akbar, the much-awaited film of Ashutosh Gowaikar, is the talk of the town. Besides the biggest star cast comprising Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai, the music of the film boasts of its composition by A.R. Rahman. Oddly enough, BIG Music, which had acquired the rights of the music, has backed out. And, now it is UTV Motion Pictures, the producer of the film, which will launch the music company of its own to secure the music rights of the film.
Confirming the news, Siddharth Roy Kapur, the COO of UTV Motion Pictures, said that UTV along with AGPPL (Ashutosh Gowaikar Productions Private Limited) came to the conclusion that UTV music would not have gotten a better launch than the perfect combination of A.R. Rahman, Javed Akhtar, Ashutosh Gowaikar, Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai.
He also added that Jodhaa Akbar was an apt platform for UTV to launch its music company. Also, Kulmeet Makkar, head honcho of Big Music, admitted about their backout from the project since UTV was not providing enough time for the promotions. UTV will now promote the music with their own label.
A.R. Rahman, music director of the film, does not stop raving about the music and said the music of Jodhaa Akbar is contemporary so that it satisfies both critics and music-lovers.
