PASSION FOR URDU: Hrithik Roshan (AP PHOTO) Hrithik Roshan's Urdu teacher is all praise for his favourite student's passion to get his pronunciation just right. Hrithik Roshan, who plays Emperor Akbar in Ashutosh Gowariker's Jodha Akbar , has been working hard to get his Urdu lines right. Hrithik also takes his Urdu teacher, Kamaal Ahmed, to the dubbing studio so that his dialogues are perfect. Hrithik, who has been learning Urdu at his home in Juhu, has been so driven about learning the language that he makes it a point to take lessons whenever and wherever he has some free time. Our source says, "Hrithik has been learning Urdu from a teacher for some time now. The teacher also accompanies Hrithik to the studio where the actor is currently dubbing for Jodha Akbar ." Kamaal Ahmed, a native of Kanpur, confirms the news and says, "Yes, I am teaching Urdu to Hrithik. Hrithik is my favourite student as he is very hard-working and a perfectionist. He doesn't give up till he gets the pronunciations just right."

Training for horse riding started a month and a half in advance at the Mahalaxmi race course, in Mumbai. We trained all the actors, including Hrithik and Aishwarya. After that, we started sword fighting training in Mehboob studios, in Mumbai's suburban Bandra. We rehearsed with my fighters; then choreographed the fight sequence and shot it on camera, edited it and locked it. That gave us an idea how each scene would look and how we would handle it. We went on the sets fully prepared, so it was quite easy. There was no training on the location. Everyone knew how to ride a horse or fight with swords by then. I took 250 stuntmen to Karjat and Rajashthan. Plus, we had 5,000 villagers. The battle sequences were quite big, and it took a lot of time. We would start preparing for the scene at 3am every morning, and would be ready for the first shot only by 7am. Also read: A musical conquest © 2007 Rediff.com India Limited. All Rights Reserved.

Hrithik Roshan
Film career.:2003–2008: Revival and awards success.

 For his role as an enigmatic master thief in "Dhoom 2" (2006)—an action sequel co-starring Aishwarya Rai, Bipasha Basu and Abhishek Bachchan—Roshan won his third Filmfare Award for Best Actor. The film critic Rajeev Masand called him "the heart, the soul, and the spirit of the film", and praised his stunts, concluding that he "holds the film together and even manages to take your attention away from its many flaws." Bored by playing the "good guy", Roshan was excited to play a villain for the first time. At the request of the film's producer Aditya Chopra, Roshan lost 12 pounds (5.4 kg) for the role, and learned skateboarding, snow boarding, rollerblading and sand surfing. With earnings of ₹1.5 billion (US$19 million), "Dhoom 2" became the highest-grossing Indian film of all time, a distinction it held for two years. In the 2007 melodrama "Om Shanti Om", he made a cameo alongside several Bollywood stars. 
 In 2008, Roshan was cast in Ashutosh Gowariker's "Jodhaa Akbar", a partly fictionalised account of a marriage of convenience between the Mughal emperor Jalaluddin Muhammad Akbar (played by Roshan) and the Rajput princess Jodha Bai (played by Rai). Gowariker believed Roshan possessed the regal bearing and physique required to play the role of a king.
