Ashutosh Gowarikar has been in the news for everything other than his latest release What’s your Rashee?
The director is known for his outbursts at public events, the most recent being the one in which he told his leading lady Priyanka Chopra that she didn’t deserve the Best Actress Award. Priyanka was very upset but it seems that the cold war has ended, she said, “I’m very happy to have worked with Ashu Sir, a director of such calibre. I haven’t been in this biz for that long but I’m thankful that I have had the opportunity to work with him.”Ashutosh Gowarikar is hoping that his latest flick that also stars forgotten actor Harman Baweja will have the same fate as his last blockbuster Jodhaa Akbar. “This is the first time I’ve ventured into the romantic comedy genre. I didn’t want to limit myself into the same genre and I wanted to experiment and do something light for a chance. I hope it has the same success as my earlier films, even if the audience smiles during the film, I’ll be happy,” he said.
The film which is based on the adaptation of a novel is about a young Gujarati man in pursuit of his dream girl with the catch to find her within 10 days in order to save his family from an unforeseen ordeal. Priyanka has 12 different avatars in the film and on being quizzed why Ashu didn’t choose different actresses he said, “I could have used 12 different characters but I used Priyanka because she is a fabulous actress and she’s just so versatile in order to fit into all 12 characters with ease. She has worked very hard and I’m very happy with the results.”
Nice to know both have kissed and made up but we feels that Ashutosh shouldn’t keep his hopes up for the film. The music can put anybody to sleep, Harman is unnoticeable and the length on the film could put you in a never-ending slumber. That all even before the release of the film, go figure!
