Hollywood Costume Designer roped in for Hrithik Roshan's Mohenjo Daro

Hrithik Roshan and newcomer Pooja Hegde play the lead roles in Mohenjo Daro. The film is jointly produced by Disney India’s Studio business and Ashutosh Gowariker Production Pvt. Ltd. (AGPPL), “Mohenjo Daro” will go on floors in October 2014. Its first schedule will take place in South Africa.

Ashutosh Gowariker has roped in Oscar-nominated and Emmy Award-winning international costume designer April Ferry for his mega project “Mohenjo Daro“. Ferry will design costumes for the lead actors Hrithik Roshan and Pooja Hegde as well as for the entire cast of the film.

April, in her Hollywood career spanning decades, has designed costumes for many Hollywood films such as Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Robocop (2015), Elysium, Surrogates and Jurassic World (unreleased sequel to Steven Spielberg’s films), Maverick and the HBO series Rome. She has received an Oscar-Award nomination for her costume designing for Maverick and won the Outstanding Costume for a Series Emmy for Rome.

”I am really thrilled to be working with Ashutosh Gowariker. When I first heard about this film, I really hoped that it wouldn’t clash with my work back there and I am glad it didn’t. This film excites me because there is very little known about that period and so it gives me a lot of creative space to create costumes for an era which is so ancient,” Ferry said in a statement.

Gowariker said: “I feel extremely proud to be working with Ms. April Ferry. I have been a great admirer of her work, especially with regards to her keen eye for detail, and I’m now delighted that she will design the costumes for ‘Mohenjo Daro‘.”
