After Anand Mahindra, the chairman of the Mahindra Group, asked him to make a movie about the Indus Valley Civilization, director SS Rajamouli shared his response.

On Twitter, Anand re-shared an article on the civilization’s historic towns, which also included Harappa, Mohenjo Daro, Dholavira, Lothal, Kalibangan, Banawali, Rakhigarhi, Surkotada, Chanhu Daro, and Rupar.

Anand Mahindra tweeted, “These are amazing illustrations that bring history alive and spark our imagination. Shoutout to SS Rajamouli to consider a film project based on that era that will create global awareness of that ancient civilisation…”

Reacting to that, SS Rajamouli replied: “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 few years later. Tried so hard to visit Mohenjodaro. Sadly, was denied permission.”

2009 saw the release of the fantasy action movie Magadheera in Telugu. Ram Charan, Srihari, Kajal Aggarwal, and Dev Gill are the movie’s main actors. It has an eternal love and rebirth concept.
