However, a few seconds later, the entire media troupe was seen storming out of the venue- Reliance, Film City (Goregaon).
It so happened that the media got to learn from someone on the set that Hrithik "wanted to give them the bytes only after he had finished shooting for the show".
Now whether that source really heard Hrithik say exactly that or did he/she mishear is a matter which has no answers yet, but the story ended on a very sour note and that's for sure.
We wonder if the channel's team was pressurising the actor to finish their show first, and what exactly triggered off Hrithik to say if he did say what the media was "told".
Mohenjo Daro, directed by Ashutosh Gowariker and co-starring newbie Pooja Hegde, hits theatres on August 12.
