Ashutosh Gowarikar: Might do something like ‘Star Wars’ in future

Filmmaker Ashutosh Gowarikar has expressed his desire to make a science fiction film on the lines of “Star Wars”.

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” is an American epic space opera film directed, co-produced, and co-written by JJ Abrams.

The seventh installment in the main “Star Wars” film series is all set to hit cinemas this Christmas in India.

“I would love to (try out something like this). I love science fiction space, I like this as a genre. I might do something like this in future,” Ashutosh told reporters here last night at the screening of “Star Wars”.

“I am looking forward to the film. I am excited to see it,” he said.

Ashutosh is looking forward to the release of his next directorial venture “Mohenjo Daro” starring Hrithik Roshan and Pooja Hegde in the lead roles.

The upcoming epic adventure-romance film is produced by Ashutosh Gowariker Productions and Disney India.

Reportedly, the film is set in the ancient city of Mohenjo-daro, Sindh Pakistan in the era of the Indus Valley civilisation that dates back to 2600 BC.

The film is scheduled to release in August next year.
