SHOCKER! Mohenjo Daro's lacklustre trailer was not made by Ashutosh Gowariker

We all know that the first trailer of any film tends to seals it fate. But we bet you didn’t know that Ashutosh Gowariker, the director of Mohenjo Daro was not allowed to cut the trailer of his own film. Instead of trusting Ashutosh, UTV outsourced the responsibility to a company named Trigger Happy Entertainment. The Lagaan director was quite upset with this move and tried to reason it out with UTV- but to no avail. He was bluntly asked to concentrate his energies on the post production of the film.

SHOCKER! Mohenjo Daro's lacklustre trailer was not made by Ashutosh Gowariker

We all know that the first trailer of any film tends to seal its fate. But we bet you didn’t know that Ashutosh Gowariker, the director of Mohenjo Daro was not allowed  to cut the trailer of his own film.

Instead of trusting Ashutosh, UTV outsourced the responsibility to a company named Trigger Happy Entertainment.

Ashutosh never wanted it to happen that way. The Lagaan director was quite upset with this move and tried to reason it out with UTV- but to no avail. He was bluntly asked to concentrate his energies on the post production of the film.



A source says, "UTV did a very unfair thing. At the end of the day, it was not their solo production. Ashutosh's wife Sunita was also one of the producers."

The moment Mohenjo Daro’s trailer was unveiled, people decided that this film was not happening. This, in turn, was sure to affect the film’s business.

Does Ashutosh blame the production house for the film's failure? Perhaps he does.

Would the film have done better at the ticket windows if Trigger Happy Entertainment had not been asked for its services? Difficult to say.



For those who've come in late, Trigger Happy Entertainment has extended its services to cut trailers of a mixed bag- flops like Humshakals, Ekkees Topon Ki Salaami and Kuch Kuch Locha Hai and hits like PK, Kick and Badlapur.

Since it’s not a secret anymore that Mohenjo Daro is struggling big time to recover its filming cost, you might as well know who could take a part of the blame for this.
