For those who don't know, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Sonu Sood, and Hrithik play crucial roles in Ashutosh Gowariker's 'Jodhaa Akbar.' One of Hrithik and Aishwarya's best films, it was released in 2008, and AR Rahman's score only enhanced their on-screen chemistry.

According to Ravi Dewan, who spoke with a well-known news portal, “Hrithik is very professional and there were no duplicates used in that (elephant) scene. It was a female elephant and we brought her to the studio four-five months before the actual shoot, so that she becomes shooting-friendly.”

When discussing the 'Jodha Akbar' scene with the rampaging elephant, the stunt director commented, “Everyday when Hrithik used to pack-up from other shoots, he used to give the elephant bananas in an attempt to become familiar and friendly with the elephant. It was very hot when we were shooting. After every shot we used to put water on the elephant. Hrithik himself did the sequence where he had to tame the elephant.”

Ravi Dewan, a renowned stuntman in Bollywood, lauded Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for her swordplay in the movie and remarked, “In the whole film, Hrithik and Aishwarya did their stunts on their own without any help. Even though her face was covered in the (sword fight) scene, she still did it herself. We had booked the Mehboob studio and we used to train everybody there. There were a lot of films after Jodhaa Akbar, but there was none which matched the grandeur and action of Jodhaa Akbar.”
