The setting seems far more suited to ancient Egypt, had ancient Egyptians worn dhotis and turbans.

Tu Hai appears to document a ritual of some sort, in the midst of which Sarman and Chaani conduct a secret romance as everyone around - Kabir Bedi's villain included - helpfully looks the other way.

The Sarman-Chaani romance received a brief extension on Twitter:
 

AR Rahman provides both the music and the singing voice for Hrithik Roshan, who, by his own account, is thrilled by Tu Hai:
 

Tu Hai's lyrics are by Javed Akhtar and additional vocals by Sanah Moidutty.

Mohenjo Daro is slated to release on August 12, when it will clash with Akshay Kumar's Rustom.
