Ventilator in Gujarati
Ashutosh Gowarikar gave
clap for Jackie Shroff’s Gujarati debut film ‘Ventilator’
Early this
year, it was announced that veteran actor Jackie Shroff will be making his
Gujarati debut with the adaptation of Rajesh Mapuskar’s Marathi comedy-drama Ventilator, which had bagged three
National Awards. Helmed by debutant director Umang Vyas, the adaptation is written
by acclaimed scriptwriter Niren Bhatt, who has previously written the National
Award-winning thriller-drama Wrong Side
Raju, Umesh Shukla’s All Is Well and
the Salman Khan-produced Loveratri,
that features his brother-in-law Aayush Sharma. The talented Karan Vyas has
co-written the script which also features well known Gujarati film and theatre
artists.
Now, Umang Vyas has finally commenced shooting for Shroff's Gujarati
debut film Ventilator, on March 23,
2018, Friday, with the Mahurat shot canned at Goregaon’s Film City Studio. The
lead cast with filmmakers Ashutosh Gowariker and Rajesh Mapuskar along with
director Umang and co- producer Lawrence D’souza was present at the venue.
While the Swades filmmaker gave clap for the Mahurat shot featuring Shroff,
appreciated the casting and gave his best wishes to the team, the original
ventilator director Mapuskar, who is also involved as the creative director on
this film, ceremoniously broke the coconut as to invite positivity and good
luck to the film.
After filming certain sequences in Mumbai, the cast will move to Ahmedabad
to shoot the rest of the film. While speaking to the press, Shroff mentioned
that he is excited to be a part of the Gujarati Ventilator and wishes to work
in other languages as well.
After making a mark in Bollywood, Irada Entertainment is now gearing up
to make an impact in the Gujarati cinema with the movie Ventilator featuring
the versatile Jackie Shroff.
