Her debut home production, Marathi movie “Ventilator”, has won three National awards and Priyanka Chopra says such honours are encouraging but they don’t dictate the films she will be doing in future.

“I did not anticipate any award for any of the films I have made. I have never made films for awards or acted in films for awards. Eventually I have always treated awards as a sign of encouragement but they can’t dictate the films you make,” Priyanka told PTI over phone from the US.

“Ventilator” is a Marathi language comedy-drama directed by Rajesh Mapuskar and produced by Priyanka under her company Purple Pebble Pictures.

The film won three awards at the 64th National Film Awards – Best Director, Best Editing and Best Sound Mixing.

Priyanka, 34, is more than happy about winning the prestigious award as she is the only actress-producer in Bollywood to have won a National award for her first film.

“I always like coming first. I am very excited about it (National award) as it’s my first Marathi film and as a production company we are barely a year old. ‘Ventilator’ is director Rajesh Mapuskar’s first Marathi film I am very happy for him.
