I did Rama Madhav for my son: Mrinal

Actress-filmmaker Mrinal Kulkarni recently at an event revealed that it was her son Virajas who suggested her to make a movie from Ramabai Peshwe���s point of view.
The actress said, ���It was after a long time that Virajas finally got to see the serial ���Swami��� which gave me recognition as Rama across the state. However, after watching the serial he said that Rama didn���t have much to do in the show and her point of view was missing.I felt bad that he had not approved what gave me recognition. This was followed by a brain storming session and Virajas suggested to make a movie which will be from Rama���s point of view and her version of the story has not been explored yet.���
