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.”
MohenjoDaro Civilization
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.
Also Hrithik is not suitable for Indus valley civilization as he shivers a lot while acting and audience get irritated by it. But hope it will cross 200 crores and will be a big hit.
period films didn’t work much at the boxoffice.
@loki agreed 100%
@punk You forget it was King Khans Red chillies that gave VFX at a cheaper rate for Krrish 3 else Roshans would have to sell their entire property to make Krrish 3. Also K3 copied Man of steel, X men, Batman, along with shivering from Hr Lol. and King was honest unlike Fraud roshans.
Swades was a masterpiece, Jodha akbar was flawed and badly acted. Also Asoka >> Jodha akbar.
If Swades released today it will surely do >120 crore, not like 30 crore guzaarish.
All the best HR & Mahenjadaro Team. Haters (srk fans) gonna hate !!!!!!!!
nice Hrithik, you will break path of bollywood stars from there foot step by doing an awesome projects and acts… Mohenjodaro will mindblowing
kareena and hrithik confirm this news im waiting for this
I like ashutosh’s movie.his best movie is SWADES and some losers compared it with jodha akbar and commented such a way as jodha akbar was a blockbuster,lol.actually some persons hate films like SWADES,ASOKA and claimed themselves sensible film watchers,but how could behave it possible,lol.
@hrithik,how could you decide SRKIANS are haters even fans like @Damnnn supported it.I think your job in @indicine is to enter every article in end to blame SRKIANS.however some SRKIANS blamed hr due to his fans and hr’s 3rd class fans like @punk is responsible for it.
