The musical score for the period film by AR Rahman has been released under the newly launched UTV Music label and consists of five songs that capture the essence and opulence of the Moghul era.

Gowarikar denies two songs were cut from the film to keep its length under 3 hours.
"No. We recorded five songs and we've retained them all. I treasure every song that I record and wouldn't dream of cutting them for length."
The joint appearance by Aishwarya and Hrithik at the event put to rest rumors of a rift between the co-stars who wowed viewers as an on screen couple in Dhoom 2.
Dismissing tabloid speculation that the two have not been getting along lately Gowarikar says:
“Absolutely untrue! Aishwarya and Hrithik get along really well. Even at the wrap-up party they were fine with each other. There was no rivalry between them.”
Fans can expect to see the two make more joint appearances during the lead up to the release of the film.
“We now have a publicity plan for them,” Gowarikar adds.

"The music of Jodhaa-Akbar can't be bhangra and hip-hop. Just because the film has Aishwarya, please don't expect an introductory song-and-dance. It's not a star vehicle. It's about the characters. I'm showcasing Jodhaa and Akbar," says Ashutosh Gowarikar.
