Ashutosh Gowariker's Response to Critics of Mohenjo Daro Trailer

Mumbai: Filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker is not perturbed over the flak which the trailer of his upcoming film Mohenjo Daro has received online and said that one should be open to criticism.

Fans have panned the trailer questioning the VFX technology used to depict the Indus Valley civilisation.

The 52-year-old director wants people to be patient and opine after watching the film that stars Hrithik Roshan and Pooja Hegde in the lead roles.

When Mr Gowariker was asked about how he is he dealing with the criticism regarding the trailer, he said, "We are open to that. When Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan) was in a good phase of his career, a film named Alaap came and the poster had his face that seemed poetic. I did not go for it as I was enjoying watching him in Don and Trishul."

"We have our own image or response to a trailer. In a trailer, you try to depict a story. There are certain elements that shock you but you have to be patient and form your opinion after seeing the film. I think Alaap was a superb film and Amitji was great," he said.

Mohenjo Daro is scheduled to release on August 12.
