And my vote for the heroine opposite Hrithik goes to Sonakshi. She's a classic, ethereal beauty. She will look good in a period role plus she can act well.

Ashutosh Gowariker signs Karl Walter, Glenn Boswell for Mohenjo-Daro

About a couple of months ago, before finalising Hrithik Roshan, Ashutosh Gowariker had signed renowned cinematographer Karl Walter Lindenlaub to recreate the Indus Valley Civilization of 2600 BC.

Karl has previously worked on award-winning films like Independence Day, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, The Haunting, Stargate and many more.

A source close to the director says "Ashutosh sir was keen on working with the German cinematographer (Karl Walter Lindenlaub) on his last film Buddha' which was later shelved. So when he planned to make Mohenjo-Daro, a film that he has been writing for more than 2 years, he wanted a strong technical team to recreate the 4600 year old civilization. The visuals in the film will be nothing like what you've seen in an Indian film ever before."

Ashutosh has also signed Hollywood stunt co-ordinator Glenn Boswell, who choreographed the stunt sequences in Hollywood films like The Matrix series, Ghost Rider, The Hobbit Series, just to name a few.

Mohenjo-Daro is likely to be one of the most expensive films of our times and Ashutosh has an incredible team with him - Hrithik Roshan a dependable superstar as the lead, multiple Oscar-winning music director A.R. Rahman, German cinematographer Karl Walter Lindenlaub, acclaimed stunt coordinator Glenn Boswell and Gowariker himself who has directed award-winning films like Lagaan, Swades and Jodhaa Akbar.

Mohenjo-Daro is expected go on floors in the month of September this year and should release in the first half of 2016. The leading lady of the film is yet to be officially confirmed.

We were the first to tell you that the successful trio of Jodha Akbar - UTV Motion Pictures, Ashutosh Gowariker and Hrithik Roshan - were to team up again to create another successful film, Mohenjo Daro. We're told that pre-production is on in full flow and the film is expected to go on the floors a few months from now.

Ask an ecstatic Gowariker about the film and he replies, "I love love stories, especially those set in different times. And if those times are several centuries ago, then the intensity of that romance grows many times. In the case of Mohenjo Daro, the times are 2500 BC (4,500 years ago). I am extremely excited with the challenge of telling this love story, set during the Indus Valley Civilisation. And to have Hrithik play the protagonist in this ancient world I am creating, with his portrayal of romance which is so passionate and pure makes it all the more exciting. I'm absolutely glad that we are both coming together to tell this epic romance of Mohenjo Daro!!"

On the other hand, the leading man Hrithik Roshan says, "Its very rare to come across a vision that challenges every aspect of the norm. That defies your ability of the physical and mental. A film that is truly about spirit. Add to that an epic love story set in ancient India. The Indus Valley Civilisation is very central to India - popular across not just our country but of interest and intrigue for the rest of the world. But more than anything, I am truly excited to be working with Ashutosh once again. I think the right words would be..."We're BACK!"

We agree, they're back to create even more magic on the big screen!
