Rajamouli To Do A Film About Indus Valley Civilization? Here's His Answwer

The oldest living society available from the Indian subcontinent is the Indus Valley Culture. As an exception to this, the excavations at Keezathi in Tamil Nadu have provided evidence, but more studies are yet to be done on the Dravidian culture. But few studies have already been done on the Indus Valley culture, located in India and Pakistan today. Meanwhile, the idea of a film about this ancient period has been gaining momentum on Twitter for the past few days.

It all started with Indian businessman Anand Mahindra requesting film director Rajamouli to direct a film based on the Indus Valley culture. With Rajamouli responding to Anand Mahindra's request, the demand for a film on the Indus River Valley culture rose among the netizens. Rajamouli's Indian historical films have been commercial successes. Rajamouli is the director and producer of classic films such as Magadheera, Baahubali: The Beginning, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, and RRR, which have been well received in India and abroad alike.

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… https://t.co/ApKxOTA7TI

Anand Mahindra shared the images shared from his Twitter handle, Desi Thug. The Twitter handle shared images of ancient cities of the Indus Valley Civilization, including Harappa, Mohenjo Daro, Dholavira, Lothal, Kalibangan, Banawali, Rakhigarhi, Surkotada, Chanhu Daro, and Rupar. Responding to Anand's demand, Rajamouli came to the scene. He mentioned in his reply note that he had had such an idea before, but it did not materialise due to various reasons. He also described his experience when he visited Mohenjo Daro, which is part of the Indus Valley culture. '

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,… https://t.co/j0PFLMSjEi
