  • I Made 'Ventilator' For My Father: Priyanka Chopra
Actress-producer Priyanka Chopra, whose maiden Marathi production venture "Ventilator" has won three National Awards, says she made the film for her late father, Lt. Col. Ashok Chopra.
 
"Ventilator", a comedy-drama, won the awards in categories like Best Director for Rajesh Mapuskar, Best Editing for Rameshwar Bhagat and Best Sound Mixing for Alok De at the 64th National Film Awards, which were announced on Friday here.
 
"I'm so excited, happy and proud! Our first Marathi movie ‘Ventilator' won not 1, not 2, but 3 National Awards," tweeted Priyanka, who produced the film alongside her mother Madhu Chopra under their home banner Purple Pebble Pictures.
 
 
 
 
The actor also congratulated her team on the big win as she said, “Congratulations to Rajesh, Rameshwar, and Alok. So well deserved. As producers, this was a difficult film to bring together… with such an amazing ensemble cast of over 116 actors from Marathi cinema and theatre backgrounds, tight deadlines and crazy schedules but we made it happen because we truly believed that this story needed to be told.”
 
Priyanka, who has always been a daddy’s girl added, “I also wanted to make this film for my father and I know he would have been very proud right now.” The actor also shared a video of her father on her social media account, as she missed sharing her big moment with the man who made her dreams come true.
