Rain halts shooting of Zee TV's Jodha Akbar

The shooting of Balaji Telefilms’ historical venture Jodha Akbar, which is all set to air on Zee TV soon, has met with an abrupt halt, all thanks to the torrential rains city of Mumbai (and around areas) have been receiving since the last couple of days. As per a reliable source, since most of the Jodha sets (in Karjat) are laid out in the open, it makes it difficult for one to shoot during rains. Apart from that, the baarish hampers the condition of the sets too. Therefore, the shoot has been put to a halt and sets have been covered at the moment.
