Nitesh Tiwari and Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari are one of the most powerful and formidable filmmaking duos in the Hindi film industry. Both these makers carry so much credibility to their name individually when they work on a project, and when they collaborate, the expectations just rise higher. Together the duo has founded the production house Earthsky Pictures, which has produced several ad films and the docu-series, Break Point, based on Indian Tennis legends, Mahesh Bhupathi and Leander Paes. And now they have taken another ambitious project under their production.
This morning, Ashwiny took to social media to share a picture from location with her upcoming film’s team including husband Nitesh and lead cast Ishwak Singh and Mahima Makwana, making the official announcement for Bas Karo Aunty. She wrote, “Be your own inspiration & Make your own path everyday.
