'Marathi films are my first love' says Swapnil Joshi

On winning the award

It's an honor to receive this award. Duniyadari is a cult movie. We all have put our best efforts but had no expectations that it would get such a terrific response.
It is indeed a moment of pride for me that I was chosen for an award that has a visionary's name associated with it. Raja Paranjape is one of the pillars of Indian cinema. This award is like a blessing from him.

My inspiration
My mother is my inspiration. She motivates me to keep moving on in life no matter what the situation is.

Memorable films
Both Duniyadari and Mumbai Pune Mumbai are close to heart. I have memorable experiences with these movies.

Upcoming projects
I have two major releases this year, Mitwa and Pyaar Vali Love Story
