Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari to turn producer

Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari is one of the finest storytellers in Bollywood. Be it her debut film Nil Battey Sannata (2016) or Bareilly Ki Barfi (2017), her both movies thoroughly resonated with all segments of the audience and did commercially well, too. Now people are looking forward to her third directorial offering, titled Panga (2020).

Starring Kangana Ranaut, Jassi Gill, Richa Chadha and Neena Gupta in important roles, Panga revolves around a married middle-class working woman who wants to make a comeback in the sports of Kabaddi. The audience loved the trailer which created huge anticipation for the film set to enter theatres on 24th February, 2020.

While Panga is hours away from arriving in cinemas, Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari has already started working on her next directorial. The untitled film will be inspired from the life of IT industrialist and the co-founder of Infosys Narayana Murthy and his wife Sudha Murthy.

Talking about the same, the filmmaker said, “I am making a film inspired from the life of Narayana Murthy and Sudha Murthy and I feel very privileged to be making this story. I truly admire Sudha Murthy and Narayana Murthy and specially Sudha Murthy, because I always feel that when I reach that age, I want to be like her. So, this is not a film for me, this is life.”

She added that she is also turning producer and will give younger directors a chance to showcase their talent. “And, I am also co-producing and directing something with Ekta Kapoor. I am also turning producer now, so I have a lot of stories where I want to give younger directors a chance to showcase their talent and give them a platform,” she said in conclusion.
