Ashutosh Gowariker clarifies ‘Mohenjo Daro’ release date rumours

Ashutosh Gowariker has denied rumours that his film ‘Mohenjo Daro’ starring Hrithik Roshan will be moving dates, despite a clash with Akshay Kumar’s ‘Rustom’ on 12th August.

Earlier today, ‘Rustom’ producer said, “As of now it’s still August 12. We announced the date first. Yes, we have been talking to Ashutosh Gowarikar (producer-director of Mohenjo Daro) but there’s been no decision taken on changing the date. They haven’t even begun their promotions yet.”

However, Gowariker released a statement denying any talks between makers of ‘Rustom’. He said, “I would like to clarify that he (Ashutosh Gowariker) has not been spoken to and that there is no change in the release date of Mohenjo Daro. As officially announced more than a year ago, on 15th January 2015, the film will release on 12th August 2016. There is a specific promotional plan in place for our film and our campaign will begin as scheduled by our team for the same.”

With the way things stand currently, both films will be going head-to head on 12th August this year.
