Now that the trailer of Mohenjo Daro is out, they seem to have reified that for a wider audience as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id=&quot;p_5&quot;&gt;His films have always been associated with historical inaccuracies, but this time the narrative seems to be openly siding with the dominant historical paradigm of the Hindutva forces.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id=&quot;p_6&quot;&gt;Read more &lt;span style=&quot;color: #3366ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;color: #3366ff;&quot; href=&quot;http://www.dailyo.in/arts/mohenjo-daro-ashutosh-gowariker-hindutva-indian-history-hrithik-roshan/story/1/11462.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
