/> By a bizarre coincidence both the director and leading man of the eagerly awaited Jodha-Akbar have been prescribed complete bed-rest by the doctors.

While Hrithik is incapacitated because of a knee injury director Ashutosh Gowariker is down with a back problem.

Says the distressed director, "I've had a back problem due to which I've been completely bed-ridden and completely inactive for the last few days. According to the doctors I think I'll need a week more.

So I'm doing all my post-production from my bed set up in my office. And yes, we've postponed Jodha-Akbar by two weeks. Instead of 25 January it'll come on 15 February."

That means the coveted Republic Day weekend is gone!

"Kya karoon? I can't travel anywhere for at least a week!" laments the director.
