SS Rajamouli, the renowned director of Tollywood, responded to Anand Mahindra's request for a film on the ancient Indus Valley Civilization. Anand Mahindra had tweeted, "These are amazing illustrations that bring history alive & spark our imagination. Shoutout to @ssrajamouli to consider a film project based on that era that will create global awareness of that ancient civilisation…" To this, 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." He ended his response with a sad emoji.
