Ashutosh Gowariker Productions celebrates 10 years

MUMBAI: Years ago, Ashutosh told his wife Sunita that he wanted to start a production house under which he would direct his films but only on the condition that she holds the reigns of production. On 17 December 2004, their first film Swades released and it was clear that they made a formidable team and Ashutosh Gowariker Productions Pvt. Ltd.  (AGPPL) quickly became a respected production house in the industry.

 

Celebrating its 10 year anniversary, AGPPL travelled back in time to bring the audiences the epic romance of Jodhaa Akbar. A visual big screen extravaganza with memorable performances from both Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the film went on to gross over Rs 100 crore at the box office, and became a popular benchmark. 

 

AGPPL has previously produced films like Swades, Jodhaa Akbar, What’s Your Raashee?, Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey and the recent television production, Everest. Their recent foray into television production began this year with one of the most ambitious projects in Indian television till date. Everest is the unique combination of an emotional story with scale and action.

 

AGPPL is now focused on what awaits them in the next decade. 2015 begins with the filming of their Hrithik Roshan starrer, Mohenjo Daro. Set during the Indus Valley Civilization, Mohenjo Daro is an epic adventure-drama love story, set in an ancient era but in a modern context. The film brings together award winning international technicians and also introduces new find Pooja Hegde, opposite Hrithik.
