Anand took to Twitter, where he re-shared a post on the ancient cities of the civilisation including Harappa, Mohenjo Daro, Dholavira, Lothal, Kalibangan, Banawali, Rakhigarhi, Surkotada, Chanhu Daro, and Rupar among many others.
Anand Mahindra tweeted, “These are amazing illustrations that bring history alive and spark our imagination. Shoutout to SS Rajamouli to consider a film project based on that era that will create global awareness of that ancient civilisation…”
