A Pakistani minister has demanded an apology from the makers of Hrithik Roshan-starrer Mohenjo Daro for 'distorting' historical facts and 'making a mockery' of the highly-developed 5,000-year-old civilisation.

Sardar Ali Shah, Sindh Minister for Culture, Tourism and Antiquities, said he would soon communicate Sindh's reaction and objections to Bollywood filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker who, he said, misled people through his movie Mohenjo Daro, which was released on August 12.

Shah said the movie depicted Harappan War and recovery of levy which were nothing but figments of imagination of filmmakers and had nothing to do with history of Moenjodaro.

He said the world has widely acknowledged the importance of the heritage sites of Sindh, which was evident from the fact that Moenjodaro has been included in the list of international heritage sites by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation.

Mohenjo Daro film was written and directed by Gowariker. It features Hrithik Roshan and Pooja Hegde in the lead roles.

Mohenjodaro is an ancient Indus Valley Civilisation city that flourished between 2600 and 1900 BC.

The site, which lies in Pakistan's Sindh province, was discovered in the 1920s.
