In the backdrop of the court case filed by a Rajasthani community against his under-production historical film Jodha-Akbar, director Ashutosh Gowarikar said he would not do anything that would hurt the sentiments of any community.
Recently Rajput Sabha filed a petition in a local court saying Jodha Bai was not a daughter of Amer ruler Bharmal.
The Sabha claims that historically there was only one Jodha Bai, who was the daughter of Marwar ruler Udai Singh, and she was married to Akbar's son Jahangir.
"I did my research even when I did Laagan. I have gone through historical books before finalising my script. I have done my research for Jodha-Akbar also and would not do anything wrong and take every precaution to see that sentiments of no community is hurt," Gowarikar said at the second anniversary of ND studios on Wednesday.
He said that animals in the film were used only after obtaining required permission from the authorities.
About the disagreement of the facts by historians, the court said the Censor Board will look into these aspects before certifying the film.
Jodha-Akbar stars Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai and is produced by UTV.
