Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, with her beautiful story-telling skills, has proven her mettle as a phenomenal director and filmmaker. She, the wife of Nitesh Tiwari, with films like Nil Battey Sannata and Bareilly Ki Barfi, has given us some memorable characters with realistic tales that are equally admired by the audience and critics. And now, she is all geared up to narrate the riveting and inspiring story of Infosys co-founder Narayan Murty and his wife Sudha Murty, the chairperson of the company and a renowned author. Ashwiny, on Instagram, on Tuesday, shared a picture from her meeting with the power-couple and confirmed her next post Panga, starring Kangana Ranaut. Titled Murthy, the director expressed her gratitude towards the couple for allowing her to take their iconic story forward in the form of a cinema. She further added that all she hopes is to do justice to their expectations.

Well, with the film being announced, the leading cast remains to be an important question. However, as per reports of a leading daily, sources close to the development informed that Alia Bhatt is the top contender to play Sudha. Although the actress, who has her plate full of films including Sadak 2, Takht, RRR and Brahmastra, is yet to give her final positive nod.

Two opposite personalities. I don’t have a picture with Mr Narayan Murthy. But spent hours chatting with Sudha Maa - that’s what i call her now Been working for almost 21 years now. Started off with designing events and logos while studying in art school. I needed the money to feed my art supplies and education. Then joined as a art trainee at Leo Burnett. Spent 16 years in advertising and marketing with the most amazing people who are my dearest friends too. Left advertising in 2015 to an unknown world of Bollywood only for the passion of telling stories. #NilBatteySannata #Ammakanakku #BareillykiBarfi happened. #Panga is an important story that needs to be told. I thank @roo_cha for making this happen. Panga has been an enriching experience with talented Kangana @team_kangana_ranaut , @jassie.gill @therichachadha @neena_gupta which i and @foxstarhindi are eager to share on 24 Jan 2020 i keep dreaming that eventually I would want to lead a life like Narayan Murthy & Sudha Murthy. The life choices. Their honest life with integrity is my biggest inspiration. I am filled with humble gratitude to make Murthy. They have trusted me with their iconic story and i can only pray that I keep up to their expectations. This is more than a film.This is life. Thank-you Mahaveer ji for being the binding force. The writers are back in action @bawlekiduniya @pglens @niteshtiwari22 lets get away to another beautiful place to write. @earthskynotes
