Rai plays Jodhaa Bai and Hrithik Roshan in the lead character of Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar in the movie. The story of Jodhaa Akbar, based in the 16th century is not just a biopic of Akbar the Great, but narrates the story of what led him to become the greatest emperor of the Mughal era. Ash, unlike many of her colleagues in the film industry, has not yet lent her voice as part of a song in any film. The lyrics and the composition are inspired by the bhajans and poetry of Meera, the renowned poetess from Akbar's era," adds Rahman. "Man Mohana is a devotional song picturised on Aishwarya's character, Jodhaa. So Bela Shende went ahead and recorded the song. The co-ordination for mutually suitable dates didn't happen. Eventually, when Ash was ready, Rahman was busy recording something else. However, Ash was extremely busy and did not find time to rehearse when Rahman was available. Rahman confirms by saying, "Ashutosh strongly felt that Aishwarya could record the song in her own voice, as a bonus." Originally Gowariker wanted Rai to sing the song as he believed her voice suited the tune very well. Though the song has been rendered by Bela Shende, there is a twist in the tale.Ī R Rahman, the music composer for the film, has revealed that Aishwarya Rai, who plays Jodha Bai in the film, was to make her singing debut with Jodhaa Akbar. After the soothing O paalan hare from Lagaan and the melodious Pal pal hai bhaari from Swades, Gowarikar has included a bhajan, Man Mohana in last weekend's release, Jodhaa Akbar.
This stems from the director's love for classical and semi-classical music.
Filmmaker Ashutosh Gowarikar's has a penchant for incorporating devotional songs in his films.
