By Suchanda Banerjee Posted On : July 19, 2016 in Cinema, News - India & You , Kolkata
Hrithik Roshan is back with his action in Mohenjo-DaroAfter Jodha Akbar, Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan once again plays a historical character in Mohenjo-Daro

Lagan-famed director Asutosh Gowarikar is all set to travel with his recent film Mohenjo Daro' to Switzerland for the 69th Locarno international film festival (3 - 13 August).

Founded in 1946, the Locarno International Film Festival is the second oldest film festival in the world annually held in August. Ashutosh Gowarikar once again has made it to Locarno, after the Amir Khan starrer Lagaan (2001), which won the Audience Award at the 54th edition of the festival. This time, Gowarikar's Mohenjo-Daro, a film based on one of the ancient civilizations by the Indus River, is chosen as the closing movie at the prestigious manifestation.

An antique love story

Mohenjo-Daro is one of the oldest civilization and urban settlement of the world. Built around 2500 Before Christ (B.C.), it was coeval with Mesopotamia, ancient Egypt and Crete, in Greece. This ancient city was abdicated around 19th century B.C with the decline of Indus civilization.

The movie Mohenjo-Daro sets on the ancient city of Indus Valley Civilization, which reflects an image of the planning of one the best urban settlements in the world, habitations, culture, lifestyle, attires and get-ups of that era. It is a romantic epic-adventure with a candid mix of Bollywood twists. The storyline revolves around an indigo farmer, who develops a penchant towards the city Mohenjo-Daro . He can also relate himself with the city, and falls in love with his enemy's daughter. His enemy was the emperor of that city, who gets defeated by the protagonist played by the charming Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan.

A movie rooted in Indian History

Indian civilization and culture has been developed from the ancient culture and civilization of Indus valley. The origin of India and Indian history rooted in Harappa- Mohenjo Daro one of the valuable cities of Indus era. The literal meaning of the word "Mohenjo-Daro" is Mound of the Dead Men'. Earlier Locarno film festival projected Lagaan, which was also based on Indian history of British colonial India. This time another Indian movie, that relates India's own history.

Hrithik Roshan, Pooja Hegde and Kabir Bedi shared the screen to play the leading roles in the film. Hrithik as Sarman (the protagonist), Pooja as Channi (the beloved) and Kabir as Maham(the emperor) are set to entertain the audience at Locarno in August. To develop the movie Gowarikar took help of the archaeologists, who documented the discovery of the Indus history and it took over three years to build. Gowarikar chose Mumbai, Bhuj (a municipality in Kutch District in the state of Gujarat0, Jabalpur (a tier 2 city in the state of Madhya Pradesh) and Thane (a city in the state of Maharashtra in Konkan Division) for shooting in India. Song lyrics are written by Javed Akhtar and the film score is done by Oscar winner A. R. Rehman (Slumdog Millionaire). The movie is releasing on 12th August, 2016 and distributed by Disney India.

Award winning crew

To portray this epic civilization, life style close to the reality of that era Gowarirkar did a hard work to say the least. He along with his team recreated the whole archaeological site of Dholavira (an archaeological site at Khadirbet in Bhachau Taluka of Kutch District, in the state of Gujarat ), India; in a film studio. Mohenjo-Daro crew also had Oscar nominated and Emmy-Award winning costume designer April Ferry. Hollywood big shot, award winning VFX Supervisor Karen Goulekas, who won BAFTA Awards for The fifth element and The day after tomorrow was also a part of this huge period drama. Karen Goukelas said "Ashutosh is an amazing story-teller with a beautiful vision for Mohenjodaro. And our challenge, as his creative team, was to do whatever it takes to get that vision up on that big screen for audiences to share and enjoy."

July 19, 2016
Ashutosh Gowariker's Mohenjo Daro is the director's vision come to life on celluloid and the filmmaker did not shy away from going leaps and bounds to create the world of Mohenjo Daro for all to see.

While a lot of thought went into the casting, be it Hrithik Roshan as Sarman and Pooja Hegde as Chaani, or Bakar-Zokar as supreme built pit fighters or the strong support cast, Ashutosh Gowariker's backbone were also the massive crew working behind the scene towards bringing his vision to life.

During the Bhuj schedule, which was one of the longest and most difficult portions of the film to be shot, Ashutosh was backed by a large team on an average of 290, looking into the logistics and execution of the day to day schedule.

The schedule of Bhuj was over a 100 days and the cast and crew worked continuously there even in the scorching heat to make sure everything goes smoothly.

Did you know : The crew strength of Mohenjo Daro was 290!

They say a hardworking team is a blessing, and this is what proved to be an absolute boon for the Director too.

It was because of the team consisting of the camera men, set designers, action directors etc. in addition to the cast that made the magnum opus project a reality. In return, director Ashutosh also makes sure to give them their due credit and thanks them for putting in so much into the project.

Mohenjo Daro stars Hrithik Roshan and introduces Pooja Hegde along with Kabir Bedi and Arunoday Singh. Presented by UTV Motion Pictures and Ashutosh Gowariker Productions, and produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur and Sunita Gowariker, the film will release worldwide on 12th August, 2016.

Hrithik Roshan refuses to shoot for Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 9

By BusinessofCinema News Network on July 21, 2016

Celebrity dance reality show, Jhalak Dikhla Jaa is loved largely by the Indian audience and has a huge fanfare. However, the 9th season of the reality show has already got itself surrounded by controversies even before the broadcast of its first episode.

We had reported to you earlier that superstar Hrithik Roshan was supposed to be a part of the first episode of the season 9 for the promotion of his upcoming film Mohenjo Daro.

However, a source close to the actor has revealed that he has backed off from going on the show.

The news was confirmed earlier that the actor is to appear on the show for the promotions of his upcoming film and this had created tremendous excitement in the contestants who had started preparing hard for the episode. However, much to the disappointment of the participants, Hrithikbacked off from appearing on the show which has shattered all his plans.

Well, the reason is that the channel wants Hrithik to also appear in a roast' on the comedy showsComedy Nights Bachao along with Jhalak.

Another industry source said, "Comedy Nights Bachao started on a good note, however, it recently got embroiled in controversies. Top of that, the roast format isn't everyone's cup of tea. Hrithik, thus, backed out from Comedy and Jhalak both."

However, it's not just Hrithik who's trying to avoid appearing on the show. Akshay Kumar is also likely to give the show a miss for the promotions of Rustom.

Apparently, the channel has an insistence that every celebrity appearing on Jhalak should also appear on Comedy Nights Bachao and vice versa as a combo offer.

Akshay earlier had agreed to do Jhalak, however, did not give any tentative dates which make his appearance unlikely.

The source said, "Akshay is not comfortable featuring in Comedy Nights Bachao after all the ruckus last time. We all know how he got into a tiff and slapped comedian Siddarth Jadhav for passing racist remarks on Lisa Haydon. Things are still being discussed, but chances are high that Akshay too might back out to avoid unnecessary hullabaloo."

The hosts of the show Bachao Krushna Abhishek and Bharti Singh and also the channel spokesperson chose to not comment on the issue.

However, Myleeta Aga, producer of BBC said that the integrations are handled by the channel and therefore she cannot comment on the issue.
