Ashutosh Gowariker's ‘Mohenjo Daro’ was all set to start rolling in November this year, but now it will kick-start in January because of Hrithik Roshan’s shoulder injury.

Hrithik injured his shoulder in the gym while working out. The doctor strictly advised him a six-week rest. According to the sources, Ashutosh didn’t have any problem with Hrithik’s injury and has given him more three weeks to recover.

A source said, "‘Mohenjo Daro’ is a physically demanding film with some challenging action sequences which will be shot in the first schedule itself. Both Ashutosh and Hrithik, being the perfectionists that they are, did not want to shoot these scenes with a body double. Ashutosh has decided to push the shoot to next year so that Hrithik is fighting fit, lean and strong, when he reports on the sets."

Sunita Gowariker, the producer of the film, confirmed the news and said,  "Yes, it is true that we have postponed the shoot of ‘Mohenjo Daro’. Both Ashutosh and I wanted Hrithik to recuperate fully before beginning the film since we plan to start with action sequences. Now we will start shooting in the first week of January. It is important to us that Hrithik is 100 per cent fit and shifting the shooting dates by a few weeks makes a lot of sense."
