Life has come full circle for Ashutosh Gowariker! The director who delivered a master stroke with
Lagaan
has revisited time in real life too.
Ashutosh Gowariker had filmed Lagaan in Bhuj, Gujarat, the director revisited the location of the film with
Mohenjo Daro
.
As Mohenjo Daro required the director to recreate a pre-historical world, Ashutosh Gowariker zeroed down on Bhuj to build the magnum opus world of Mohenjo Daro.
While the director and his team visited the location of shoot, they were surprised to notice that it was the very same location where Lagaan's climax scene was shot (the cricket match).
Producer Sunita Gowariker shares, "When we went to Bhuj for a recee, it's uncanny that the same land which was used for Lagaan, is what suited our requirement and we decided to mount our set for the Mohenjo Daro city there. But what amazed me is that the platform made for the cricket pavilion in Lagaan was still standing on that land. 15 years later no one had removed it and that's something that brought a smile to Ashutosh's face and made him reminisce about his Lagaan days."
Ashutosh Gowariker's Mohenjo Daro, is an action-romance set in the pre historic Era and features a love story between the lead cast,
Hrithik Roshan and newbie Pooja Hegde.
Listen to the songs of Mohenjo Daro on gaana.com Mohenjo Daro's trailer released last week and proved to be a visual spectacle. There is also a strong social media buzz on the project with the audience awaiting Hrithik's association with Ashutosh Gowariker post Jodhaa Akbar.
Produced by
Siddharth Roy Kapur and Sunita Gowariker, Mohenjo Daro is Directed by Ashutosh Gowariker and is slated to release on August 12th, 2016.
