Arunoday Singh turns villain opp Hrithik Roshan in Mohenjo Daro

While it is known that Kabir Bedi plays the main villain in Hrithik Roshan starrer Mohenjo-Daro, we've now learnt that Arunoday Singh also features in the Ashutosh Gowariker film in a negative role. The film just went on floors with its first schedule in Bhuj. Reveals a source, "Arunoday plays Kabir's son in the film and will feature in action sequences with Hrithik.
Ashutosh confirms the development, "We needed someone who was good looking but could evoke a sense of being fierce in order to play the young antagonist opposite Hrithik's character". Not just that the director also feels that Arunoday will "look more believable as Kabir Bedi's son on screen" and "perfectly suited the role."
Hrithik who was nursing an injured hand had been following a strict workout regimen to get into perfect shape for Mohenjo Daro. "Hrithik will sport a leaner look in Mohenjo Daro and he had been following a strict workout regimen specially designed by his own trainer to make sure he is in shape to start the film", a source continued.
"He will have grueling action sequences in the film and had been undergoing tremendous training sessions for the same. He is one of the fittest actors in Bollywood and wants to make sure that the action scenes turn out brilliant". Arunoday will also be seen in an adrenaline pumping action avatar for Mohenjo Daro. "The action scenes will have me and Hrithik going head to head with each other. I am very excited about shooting those portions", Arunoday continued. "Moreover, the action stunts in Mohenjo Daro will be supervised by Hollywood stunt coordinater Glenn Boswell (of Matrix and X-Men Origins: Wolverine fame) which again gives me a different high altogether", he added.
Hrithik was so happy with Mohenjo-daro shots on Day 1, he didn't look at the monitor-Sunita Gowariker

Period drama Mohenjo Daro rolled in Bhuj yesterday
Ankur Pathak (MUMBAI MIRROR; January 28, 2015)
Ashutosh Gowariker's period
love story, Mohenjo Daro, starring Hrithik Roshan
and newbie Pooja Hegde finally rolled yesterday. “It's been in
pre-production for a while now. So when we took the first shot, everyone
on the sets got emotional, including Ashu,“ said Ashutosh's wife, Sunita
who is one of the film's producer.
Incidentally, the crew is shooting in Bhuj, at the same location where Ashutosh filmed his Oscar-nominated drama Lagaan. “It's been more than a decade but it seems like yesterday!” Sunita exclaimed.
Mirror (October 28, 2014) had earlier reported that the film was delayed by two months due to Hrithik’s back injury. “But he’s recovered completely now and is looking stunning,” Sunita gushed, adding that they canned crowd scenes, involving over 150 people on Day one. “We couldn’t start with action as Hrithik needs to familiarise himself with the character. We want him to spend a week with the character, doing dramatic sequences before we go all out with the action.” She added that Hrithik was so pleased with the shots that he didn’t even bother to look at the monitor: “It’s great when an actor shows so much faith in a filmmaker. Hrithik is a phenomenal actor and we’re glad the film is finally off to a great start.”
Action director Glenn Boswell will join the unit on February 3. “He picked up Screen Actors Guild Awards trophy for his work in Angelina Jolie’s Unbroken and asked us if he could join us a little later as he’s getting an award. We told him to collect all the awards before we transport him back to Harappa,” Sunita laughed.
The crew will shoot in Bhuj till April before moving to Mumbai. The film is expected to wrap up in August and will release in the same month next year.
