Ashutosh
Gowarikar
is
all
set
to
act
soon
after

Akbar.
He
will
be
seen
in

goes
a
long
way.
The

Institute
of
India,
Pune.
Ashutosh
will
play
the
main
protagonist

Vitthal
Salvi
a
person
from
rural
Maharashtra.
Talking
about
Ashutosh's
casting,
Renuka
informs
that
he
suits
the
character
well.
Besides,
when
Renuka
asked
him
to
act
in
her
film,
Ashutosh
was
amused
and
surprised.
They
will
finalize
the
dates
once
he
is
back
from
Jodha
Akbar's
shoot.
Ashutosh

started
his
career
as
an
