Latest News about Ashutosh Gowariker
Ashutosh Gowariker is set to produce his first Marathi film, collaborating with Rohan Mapuskar as the director. Gowariker previously acted in the critically acclaimed Marathi film 'Ventilator' (2016), which was directed by Rohan Mapuskar's brother, Rajesh Mapuskar, and produced by Priyanka Chopra Jonas.
Ashutosh Gowariker, as the chairperson of the National Awards jury, reportedly found Prithviraj Sukumaran's performance in 'Aadujeevitham' to be 'inauthentic,' leading to the film not receiving an award. A jury member, Pradeep Nair, revealed that Gowariker felt the film lacked in adaptation and execution skills, while the panel considered 'The Kerala Story' relevant for addressing a significant social issue.
