Ashutosh Gowarikar going in the panel of Oscar Juries is a freat news for India and "Shwaas". He will be able to convince the fellow juries better because he himself is a Maharashtrian and the film is also Marathi.
I knew that he'd be included the minute his film was nominated, talk about voting power, and forget the rest of the perks comes with it, wow! that's neat.
