Radhika Apte in Ashutosh Gowariker's next
Bollywood director-producer Ashutosh Gowarikar's next production will be directed by fellow National Award winner Sachin Kundalkar, and will feature Radhika Apte in the lead, reports Mumbai Mirror.
Sachin had won a National Award for the Marathi film “Nirop” (2007) and as a screenwriter for “Gandha” (2009). He made his Bollywood debut with the Rani Mukerji and Prithviraj-starrer 2012 rom com, “Aiyyaa”.
“The script is locked and the pre-production work has begun. The film will have actors speaking Marathi and French and also feature certain French actors, casting for which is currently underway,” Mirror quoted a source close to the development as saying, adding that the drama will roll in the second half of 2017. Other details, however, were scarce.
Radhika will next be seen in R Balki's Akshay Kumar-starrer “Padman”, a true-life story of entrepreneur Padma Shri Arunachalam Muruganantham.
Meanwhile, Ashutosh has also bought the rights of Vikram Sampath's 2010 novel, “My Name is Gauhar Jaan!” and is also gearing up to direct a stylish, action-packed caper with Farhan Akhtar in the lead.
