In more ways than one,it is a memorable year for actor-director Sachin Pilgaonkar. While he is completing 50 years in the film industry,he is also launching his daughter Shriya in the film Ekulti Ek. While promoting the film in the city recently,he said the film is contemporary and explores many layers of the relationship between a father and his daughter. “Every parent documents his/her child’s childhood memory in pictures. I did the same with Shriya. But now that she is all grown up,I decided to do something big for her. That’s my thought behind producing Ekulti Ek,” he said. Shriya said the film is a perfect launchpad for her. “In the film,my father’s immeasurable experience and my rawness find a beautiful balance,” she says.
