Director Ashutosh Gowariker says he doesn\u2019t let controversies affect him. His only thought is, \u201cWhy are people not patient?\u201d He shares that he embraces the questions as people ask it out of concern. The Jodha Akbar director, says, \u201cIt is a given that there will be questions when you make a historical film. If I was a descendant of a great warrior, I would want to know what is being written about or presented about my family member. However, at the same time, people should wait and be patient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gowariker\u2019s films have always had music as an integral and interactive part of the narration and the director admits to be involved in it. \u201cIt is important for a composer to know the story. I don\u2019t want a song to just stand out on its own,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On choosing the subject of Panipat, Ashutosh shares, \u201cPune and Kolhapur have been important associations, the latter being my home town. One has been a part of the Chhatratpati and the Peshwas rule. But never did I think of making a film on that. Yes, I may meet somebody who will say, \u2018why don\u2019t you make a film on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I will do it. But no one told me to make a film on Sadashiv Rao Bhau. Somewhere I like to tell untold stories, to see if there is a learning curve or knowledge to impart from it. In this story, what happens is inevitable, and that astonishes me. I thought, if I am so intrigued by it, then I should tell the story.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From Jodha and Chaani to Parvatibai the women characters have always been strong, independent and fearless. And, he believes it has been a part of his films by default. \u201cIt could be because of the influences of my mom (Kishori), sister Ashlesha who is a lawyer and my wife, Sunita. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
