An Indian cyclist rides past a hoarding for the Bollywood film Jodhaa Akbar in New Delhi on February 16, 2008. A lavish film about the love between a Muslim emperor and his Hindu wife, played by Bollywood's most glamorous star Aishwarya Rai, has opened in India to angry protests. Cinemas in western Rajasthan state have refused to show "Jodhaa Akbar" after threats from the region's Rajput community, which says the historical romance is grossly inaccurate.The film said to be one of the most expensive Bollywood movies ever made depicts a romance between the 16th century Mughal ruler Akbar and Rajput princess Jodha Bai. But Rajputs and many historians say Jodha Bai was in fact Akbar's daughter-in-law. AFP PHOTO/ Manpreet ROMANA (Photo credit should read MANPREET ROMANA/AFP/Getty Images)
