New Delhi: Hrithik Roshan’s upcoming movie ‘Mohenjo Daro’ is creating a lot of buzz in the tinselvile. The makers recently released the trailer of the movie. But, contradictory to their expectation, the trailer received flak from the audience.
It was reported that the makers were slammed for playing with the facts. But ‘Mohenjo Daro’ director Gowariker is not perturbed over flak from audience.
In fact, he has come up with a perfect reply for the critics and said ‘don’t judge ‘Mohenjo Daro’ with its trailer.
The 52-year-old “Lagaan” Director counselled movie-goers to be patient and form opinion after seeing the film.
Asked how does he deal with criticism over the trailer when everything is proper – from script to casting – Ashutosh says, “We are open to that. When Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan) was in good career phase a film named “Alaap” came and the poster had Amitji’s face that seemed poetic. I did not go for it as I was enjoying watching him in ‘Don’, ‘Trishul’.
“We have our own image or response to a trailer. In a trailer you try to depict a story. There are certain elements that shock you but you have to be patient and form your opinion after seeing the film. I think ‘Alaap’ was a superb film and Amitji was great,” he added.
The trailer of Hrithik Roshan-starrer “Mohenjo Daro” invited criticism with fans questioning the depiction of historical times through VFX technology.
The epic adventure-romance film, written and directed by Ashutosh, features Hrithik and Pooja Hegde in the lead roles.
Reportedly, the film is set in 2016 BC in the ancient city of Mohenjo-daro in the era of the Indus Valley civilisation. The film is about a man who falls in love with his enemy’s daughter, who is a dancer.
The film, produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur and Sunita Gowariker, releases on August 12.
