Gowariker’s next is Mohenjo Daro
After creating magic in Jodhaa Akbar, Ashutosh Gowariker and Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan are reuniting for yet another love story, Mohenjo Daro, set during the Indus Valley civilisation. The filmmaker is excited to face the challenge. “I'm extremely excited with the challenge of telling this love story, set during the Indus Valley civilisation. I just love love stories, especially those which are set in different times. And if those times are several centuries ago, then the intensity of that romance grows multiple fold. In the case of Mohenjo Daro, the times are 2500 BC,” said Gowarikar.
“And to have Hrithik play the protagonist in this ancient world I am creating, with his portrayal of romance, which is so passionate and pure, makes it all the more exciting. We are both coming together,” he said.

Father's Day is on the anvil. But actor Hugh Jackman, who has two children, believes people should shower love on their dads every day. This year, Father's Day is on June 15. While kids across the world are busy planning different gifts and gestures for their father, Jackman says he educates his son Oscar and daughter Ava on how to celebrate fatherhood. “Well, I just preach to my kids that every day is Father's Day, so I expect breakfast in bed every day. I'm all for the patriarchal system,” said the actor.
