'Mohenjo Daro' marks the Bollywood debut of actress Pooja Hegde.
Hrithik Roshan says he was "taken aback" by the courage of Pooja Hegde.
Pooja, a former beauty pageant contestant, has worked in the Telugu films "Oka Laila Kosam" and "Mukunda".
Written, produced and directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, the epic adventure-romance is set in the city of Mohenjo Daro in the era of the Indus Valley civilisation which dates back to 2,600 BC.
'Mohenjo Daro' is all set to clash with Akshay Kumar's 'Rustom' on August 12.
