Ashutosh Gowariker’s sons follow in father’s footsteps

Ace filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker has readied his sons Konark and Vishwang to become filmmakers. Following in their father’s footsteps, the elder son Konark (25 years) has already started by assisting his father.

Here’s what a proud Ashutosh has to say, “Konark has assisted me in ‘Mohenjo Daro’. He is passionate about filmmaking and seems to have his own ideas on how to set up the camera and compose frames. I hope, one day, he directs films that would be very different from my work. Vishwang is 20 and he’s studying filmmaking in Boston. When he returns, he will also embark on a career as a director. So, I guess both my sons have taken after me.”

Accidentally, Ashutosh also started out with acting in films. “Who knows, my sons may take the opposite direction!” says Ashutosh.
