When asked how is he dealing with the criticism over the trailer, Gowariker said, "We are open to that. When Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan) was in a good career phase, a film named 'Alaap' came and the poster had his face that seemed poetic. I did not go for it as I was enjoying watching him in 'Don',
'Trishul'."
He further added, "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."
The film is set in 2016 BC in the ancient city of Mohenjo-daro. The film, produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur and Sunita Gowariker, releases on August 12.
