Hrithik Roshan and Pooja Hegde starrer Mohenjo Daro failed miserably at the box office. The maker Ashutosh Gowariker drew a lot of flak for his inaccurate depiction of history and facts in the film, but this hasn't shaken the belief of the helmer on the lead actor.
Despite the sad fate of the film, Ashutosh is all praises for Hrithik. As per a report in Filmfare, Gowariker revealed that when they started shooting for the film, Hrithik was in a troubled state of mind but still he didn't let it interfere with the shooting on the sets. He said, "When we started shooting last year in January, he was in state of turmoil. But Hrithik never let that show on the sets. He kept it within himself. He’s a thorough professional in that sense. There were times when we told him to take a break but he was mentally strong and kept going."
The director further praised Hrithik for portraying a brave front despite having so many injuries during the film's shoot. "This was a demanding film in terms of action. So despite all the pain, he kept going. That was commendable," he said.
