A number of stories concerning Jodhaa Akbar are doing the rounds of the industry. The topic of discussion is that the film won’t make it on the scheduled date since the post-production isn’t complete yet [it's currently in the mixing stages] and Ashutosh Gowariker is in no mood to hurry things up. Translated into simple terms, it means the historical might not make it on 15th February, the final date locked by Gowariker and UTV.

Another story [rumour] doing the rounds is that the dubbed Tamil and Telugu versions are likely to be delayed as well, since the makers would be keen to get the Hindi version in place first. Which means, the South version would be pushed ahead by a couple of weeks.

Absolutely false, Siddharth Roy Kapur of UTV sets the record straight, The Hindi version as well as the dubbed Tamil and Telugu versions will have the same day and date release. There’s no question of a postponement now. I hope people stop speculating.

But what everyone’s curious to know is the final length of this colossal historical. There’re murmurs that the film will be of 3 + hour duration. Await the official announcement from Gowariker on that one!
