Acclaimed filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker is not perturbed over flak from audience on trailer of his upcoming film "Mohenjo Daro" and says one needs to be open to criticism.
The 52-year-old "Lagaan" Director counselled movie-goers to be patient and form opinion after seeing the film.
Asked how does he deal with criticism over the trailer when everything is proper - from script to casting - Ashutosh says, "We are open to that. When Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan) was in good career phase a film named "Alaap" came and the poster had Amitji's face that seemed poetic. I did not go for it as I was enjoying watching him in 'Don', 'Trishul'.
"We have our own image or response to a trailer. In a trailer you try to depict a story. There are certain elements that shock you but you have to be patient and form your opinion after seeing the film. I think 'Alaap' was a superb film and Amitji was great," he added.

The trailer of Hrithik Roshan-starrer "Mohenjo Daro" invited criticism with fans questioning the depiction of historical times through VFX technology.
The epic adventure-romance film, written and directed by Ashutosh, features Hrithik and Pooja Hegde in the lead roles.
Reportedly, the film is set in 2016 BC in the ancient city of Mohenjo-daro in the era of the Indus Valley civilisation. The film is about a man who falls in love with his enemy's daughter, who is a dancer.
The film, produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur and Sunita Gowariker, releases on August 12.
'Mohenjo Daro' set has been built on Lagaan's cricket ground

As Mohenjo Daro required the director to recreate a pre-historical world, Ashutosh Gowariker zeroed down on Bhuj to build the magnum opus world of Mohenjo Daro.
While the director and his team visited the location of shoot, they were surprised to notice that it was the very same location where Lagaan's climax scene was shot (the cricket match).
Producer Sunita Gowariker shares, "When we went to Bhuj for a recee, it's uncanny that the same land which was used for Lagaan, is what suited our requirement and we decided to mount our set for the Mohenjo Daro city there. But what amazed me is that the platform made for the cricket pavilion in Lagaan was still standing on that land. 15 years later no one had removed it and that's something that brought a smile to Ashutosh's face and made him reminisce about his Lagaan days."
Ashutosh Gowariker's Mohenjo Daro, is an action-romance set in the pre historic Era and features a love story between the lead cast, Hrithik Roshan and newbie Pooja Hegde.
