Rajamouli Denied Permission In Pakistan

Visionary director SS Rajamouli took Indian cinema to the next level with epic and historical films like the Baahubali series and Oscar-winning RRR.

Yesterday business tycoon Anand Mahindra has given a shoutout to Rajamouli urging him to consider a film project based on the ancient civilization.

Quote tweeting a Twitter thread that illustrated ancient cities of the Indus Valley Civilization, Anand Mahindra wrote, “These are amazing illustrations that bring history alive & spark our imagination. Shoutout to SS Rajamouli to consider a film project based on that era that will create global awareness of that ancient civilization.”

This morning Rajamouli replied to Anand Mahindra by quote tweeting, “Yes sir… While shooting for Magadheera in Dholavira, I saw a tree so ancient that It turned into a fossil. Thought of a film on the rise and fall of Indus Valley civilization, narrated by that tree!! Visited Pakistan a few years later. Tried so hard to visit Mohenjodaro. Sadly, was denied permission.”

Bollywood’s acclaimed director made a film on ancient civilization titled, Mohenjodaro, starring Hrithik Roshan but it flopped miserably. But knowing SS Rajamouli’s vision and capabilities, it would be a treat to watch a film on the Indus Valley Civilization.
