Gowariker spoke about the research that goes into making a film especially if it is about historical characters.

“I always do the research myself. I read all the books on the subject that I am going to adapt and understand the era myself. It can take a long time but it prepares you well,” Ashutosh, who is working on his most ambitious film “Mohenjo Daro”, said last evening.

Ashutosh advised aspiring actors to be completely prepared for auditions and not be disheartened if they get rejected.
