Filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker’s next movie is likely to be a modern day adaptation of the classic fairy tale Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs . The director is currently shooting Mohenjo Daro , starring Hrithik Roshan and Pooja Hegde.
The 51-year-old Swades director will helm the adaptation after wrapping up the period love story, scheduled to release on August 12 next year, sources confirmed.
“Yes, Ashutosh is doing the adaptation of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. He is currently busy with Mohenjo Daro after which he will start working on the adaptation. He will make an announcement soon”, the source said.
Mr. Gowariker has previously helmed movies with a historical bend, including Lagaan , Jodhaa Akbar and Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey . The adaptation of the fairy tale, however, will have a modern-day twist.
