What's left behind the scenes

  • The film's production was preceded by a year and a half of studying the clothing worn during the Mughal Empire era.
  • Aishwarya Rai Bachchan wore contact lenses on set that made her eyes brown.
  • For the sword fight between the characters of Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the swords were initially made of wood, but they proved awkward to handle, so new swords were made for the actors from fiberglass.
  • The food shown in the film was made from butter churned from buffalo milk. For this reason, the actors refused to film more than one take, so they wouldn't have to taste it again.
  • Idrajit Sarkar played the role of Birbal, but all scenes with him were cut during editing to make the film shorter.
  • Nita Lulla designed costumes for both the lead actress and the rest of the film's cast.
  • Considering the opulence of the Mughal Empire, Nita Lulla used gold embroidery with precious stones in the costumes of the main characters.
  • The production of precious stones for the film involved 200 artisans over 600 days. Approximately 300 kg of precious stones were used in the film in total. Their shapes were crafted according to examples found in surviving Mughal-era miniatures and verified against the biography of the Great Mughal Akbar, written by his vizier Abu'l-Fazl ibn Mubarak Allami (1551-1602), and his book "Akbar-nama" (a chronicle in Persian describing the history of the Mughal Empire).
  • The jewelry worn by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's character at the wedding weighed 3.5 kg.
  • The cannons are made of carbon fiber with metal inserts inside.
  • 200 artisans worked for 600 days to create the precious stones for the film. Approximately 300 kg of precious stones were used in total. Their shapes were based on examples from surviving Mughal miniature paintings and verified against the biography of the Great Mughal Akbar, written by his vizier Abu'l-Fazl ibn Mubarak Allami (1551-1602), and his book “Akbarnama” (a chronicle in Persian describing the history of the Mughal Empire).
