Riding high on the success of three 100cr Blockbusters (Jolly LLB2 , Badrinath Ki Dulhania and Judwaa2) in 2017, Fox Star Studios has signed on Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari to direct a movie based on Kabaddi. The game Kabaddi, which had lost out on it’s followers has seen a massive jump in the last few years through Pro Kabaddi League tournament. Now Fox Star Studios is all set to take a leap ahead to present the game on the silver screen.
Ashwiny made her debut with a comedy-drama Nil Battey Sannata which garnered critical acclaim and her recent outing Bareilly Ki Barfi, a rom-com was a surprise hit of 2017. With Ashwini now on board as the director, it will be interesting to watch out how a story on the sport that was long forgotten, shapes up with her quintessential touch.
Rucha Pathak, Chief Creative Officer, says, “We have been making a big push in Creative & Development at Fox Star Studios and in the process of researching and developing a concept on Kabaddi, we came across an idea that we knew was just right for Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari. She has a very unique voice in telling really good stories as we’ve seen in Nil Battey Sannata & Bareilly ki Barfi. I’m really glad that she saw the potential in telling this powerful story and is going to be directing it. Neerja & Jolly LLB2 have been trendsetting films with powerful stories at their core that still resonate with audiences. I’m, now, really looking forward to Ashwiny bringing her unique and powerful story-telling style with Kabaddi. It’s a perfect match between Fox Star Studios & Ashwiny Tiwari Iyer!”
