The trailer of the much awaited film Mohenjo Daro, starring Bollywood Megastar Hrithik Roshan, was released recently and opened to rave reviews. It enthralled the audiences with magnificence of the Indus Valley civilisation.
The film is set in 2016 BC in the ancient city of Mohenjo-daro in the era of the Indus Valley civilization. Here are a few things about the great Indus Valley civilization which flourished on this planet.
The City of Mohenjo Daro
The words ‘Mohenjo Daro’ literally translate to ‘the mound of the dead’ in Sindhi. The historical city’s original name is not Mohenjo Daro. Nobody knows what the real name is, as the Harrappan scripture has still not been deciphered!
This ancient city was discovered in 1922
When a few Indus Valley sites and cities like Harappa and Lothal were excavated in 1922, the city of Mohenjo-daro was also among them, and that is when the name came to be.

Though there is no written record of any sounds of that era, A R Rahman has done a wonderful job recreating the feel of the period.
The Mohenjo Daro music album begins with the title track, Mohenjo Mohenjo which is an apt start to such a grand, epic romance. Led by Arijit Singh, the song boasts of a range of singers like Bela Shende, Sanah Moidutty and A R Rahman himself. The amazing African influences to the music is what sets it apart.

Ashutosh Gowariker has postponed the shoot of Mohenjo Daro by a few weeks so that lead actor, Hrithik Roshan, can recuperate fully and be ready for the shoot. Doctors have advised Hrithik a strict 6 week resting period for his shoulder but Ashutosh has given him an additional 3 weeks in order to fully heal and recuperate, as the film is physically demanding and challenging, as far as the actioin sequences are concerned.
Commenting on the same, producer Sunita Gowariker added, “Yes, it’s true that we have postponed the shoot of Mohenjo Daro. Ashutosh and I both felt that we wanted Hrithik to recuperate fully before beginning the film especially since we plan to start with action sequences. So now we’ll start shooting in the first week of January instead of end November. Hrithik being 100% physically fit is important to us and so shifting the shoot by a few weeks made a lot of sense.
