Here’s all about Ashutosh Gowarikar’s next big production MohenjoDaro

     We may have studied a chapter of Harappa Civilization and Indus Valley Civilization in our school book, which served as the first reference for the maker Ashutosh Gowarikar as well. He penned down a lengthy 200 pager bound script and presented it to his trusted resource and main protagonist, Hrithik Roshan.  After several inputs from Hritihik, the script was shortened to 80 pages.

 

    Let’s rewind back in 1800’s when MohenjoDaro came to be one of the first civilization ever inhabited by 5 million humans. This geographically lies between Afghanistan and Pakistan and some parts of North India today. It is known as a Bronze civilization, which is why the color palate of Ashutosh Gowarikar’s film is bronze with tinges of brown and orange.

    Ashutosh Gowarikar stated it is an imaginative screenplay and more like a make-believe world.  The filmmaker gets attracted to untold stories and presents them cinematically. The film is shot in extensively in Bhuj, Gujarat with sets that represent the archaeology of the bygone era.

   Hrithik Roshan is rumored to have quite a few love-making scenes with Pooja Hegde, which are loosely based on the intimacy shown in Game of Thrones. A two and a half minute bold scene is shot inside a cave to establish their relationship.  His character is that of an indigo farmer who yearns to visit MohenjoDaro and gets lured in by its people and culture. 

   MohenjoaDaro is one of the oldest cities of our existence and it’s story needed telling. From the looks of the theatrical, Sarman aka Hrithik Roshan will fight Maham aka Kabir Bedi to reclaim and serve his city. Chaani is his love interest.

MohenjoDaro releases on 12^th August  in theaters.
