couple from i don't know that you said yes. the indigo. put the when did you start to think your feelings not to produce them but to sort of in the i've feelings came into being thing ever since it's an estimate. i think i was born brought up in a good one the main road and saw the 3 send them on the single friday number was out of go to everything just transferred to you know, it's to a little time traveling. you would in college, are you in school as growing up? yours is my own background. i comfortable, very, very humbly family, off of just, you know, dad, being a business person trying to do different businesses, property construction, you know, in delhi, to make ends meet with his less family. but my best friends model under the dust sega is their name, and she used to be a production coordinator in international phones. and i used to just be holding guns and done so all observing hood ever since, i think i was 1516 digitizing her phone books. and compute the, you know, being that the goal in office being the business of creativity,

it's actually building a dream. yeah. so, you know, selling the dream, getting it through life every be and so much decision making in interest of the dream land. so they had life that was and that responsibility and wanted to learn more and on the job went strength to strength, started as hurting. don't and don't ever since i was 1516 and kept going. and by the time i was 1920, i was a line producing big international trends in the canadian of french italian from using an imax document freeze for the short just the whole walks of production that i used to hire a lot equipment from bomb bay. right, in laid a lot of actors as and when needed of fall, whichever showed the technical skills were all in one big. so life friends in bombay with the lights, people, you know, i'm the groups guys. those are the people i knew from the managed to call them from shore to shoot in the lead. then by the time i was 21, i decided to move to lumber and raise money from my me book. and i know wanted to

produce utah city letting me do it. i am right, keen to understand how is this good for it. and so while i loaned logistics 1st by 6 years, very, very early on in life, right. i wanted to come to the other side of creative before the logistics start and that journey begin bombay for me. and that's when i really committed myself to move you out and being the him, the for the industry. which was your 1st feeling that you produce. i've produced and when i was 21, my 1st friend was called c salam india children cricket feel like i started it in 2006 and we leased it in 2007. why was producing it an important factor to not directing all texting and at all, but it's in the mind in the news that is somebody who collect some money. yes. and sort of that, but i think the concept of invest is completely different. yes. and that's actually a very good question because it took me a decade deliberate. what do you, what i do? you know, when people are people in understand and i don't know why people don't understand because my education or schooling what i saw was producing ivy's money. both of

them, but i choose the script that i want to come to the next couple of years of my life . i've been raised the money i make, i make the business then it's literally like a startup company. every time you're making your new media, high case scenario, what happens you're doing your compatible then going out to raise money, then of figuring, negotiating of all the activities director, making sure that contracts negotiation is done and then you'll get into how are we putting this on screen how every penny is added on the screen so that it looks better. it looks because i'm creatively aligning every to decision making and then sitting again on the at it because that's the diamond films made again. and then marketing leaves distribution rebuilding the money. it's getting the be yeah, oversight was you know, so over the distribution cycles. so it, it is very, very exciting and i think it's a very cool business. it's extremely under depth. it's an organized, but it is a very, very exciting business. this industrial ahead is dominated and especially in the

producer section is dominated by men. yes. but for the woman to be a producer, how difficult was it? i actually didn't even have that lens, you know, to be honest. all the years, maybe a internalized retrospectively that maybe it's an issue, but i always was very exacted by age. i just thought that we already a just but as culture, little more than gender. we kind of, you know, not accept the young as an equal side colored my head like, you know, i was 26 producing gangs with less of what all and i and that part of them. and i was 26. i used to project as being for the i'm do days like the, uh, what is to project being for the to be taken serious rectangle. is your side business? absolutely. you know, just be like if anybody wants a whole layout you know, to sit on the stable and negotiate multiple good ordeals, iced or did the question s, the guess this really tucked is only for because that exactly any kind of

discrimination is not something that you see upfront and 11 on so forwarded upfront . it's older you'll utilize and then you also react with that. and then you know, so my reaction to that was started reading tardies, reading, thoughts with jackets, dressing like or the coloring my head white sting side and of being and rules that have fixed it. my thoughts do my middle colleagues because if i said it might not be taken seriously, it might not be accepted in the contract in big corporate meetings. but those, well, if you don't or the days it's really life. no, no. yeah. see, there's so many of them in on sets up some so many of them in introducing rules exemption rules. i don't think people have a choice then to take orders. you know that i've been, that have been times and you'd be with those instead of walkers that you need to get work done. and then they have resistance. they don't look you in the eye. they feel like, you know, we conduct the orders and that's when you did it. like i said,

you know, you have to take orders from me. you know, we have to learn to work together and it's fine. everything happens. i remember in my family, my name's started coming on is as producer on so many phones over the years of something. so they try to view as a lunchbox. that's on shift on shy, he gangs the less it. but i lead to to that equal to color. none of these pictures feature me very suddenly, only different thing about do for tv. so we will change that. we make that change up, but it is a life family. i remember one of the family dinners is do like you see you and magazines is you news people you had a producer, but that was somebody you are reporting to know. i said no, no, i am so body. but couldn't believe it like that most. just somebody are digging orders from like, somebody will tell you how do you know how to do it or do a loan? did you listen to do? last you appeared in 10. 16 is back. yeah. may i ask you how? yes. unfortunately, they were both on when my mom left last the backend against me and my dad had

a very high diabetes and gave me issues and he was in dialysis. the most unfortunate part of this is that they both left in 6 months. so that was a huge hit and i'm the only jamie, extremely loved by them. uh, they have really empowered me made me travel. the words above and beyond the means did this, the success to some extent this saw uh no fortune. salaam india, uh they saw the 1st one, the very proud they heard the song of may next from the savannah, which was them a mustang. yes, that kid last year song and was whenever i took featuring, she's young child director. i got a mock the hood that song which my mom was so so proud of a nice to visual need that as a dedication to her mom could not see that from that saw the phone. and then that's to who were you doing this all for we all is going to say something to look. yeah.

my, my dad got that address or not i've done something so amazing there. so right the actually i think i just adopted dreams of every detective. i produce change of so many plus them directors for me. i was like, ok, all dreams of my dreams, you know and make it happen for you. so it was just an art, most silvas for the business and you know, above and beyond the financials of it, i just really wanted to look make new boundaries happen. and also i think some when i connect with them very, very deeply when you, um, brands in to talking to them. you know, and, and the guy, i mean if you like, i have mental angels. i have a way of talking to them calling upon them, saying, help me here. you know, i am in this situation and that has me navigated or giving me an idea that he can get out of this. so they've been around if he liked doing,

guided me for sure. and been strongly do you know, it's a very beautiful bond. yes. but yes. for many, many years. it was all the 1st time directors that i worked with and all the actors and all legends. i was like, ok, let's go to a fast or let's go when awards. let's go license globally. and that allowed me to, you know, constantly in a way the business like of the in the front treaty of cool production was signed in 1985. i was the 1st one to use it in 2011 for the same quarter lunchbox. then i used it again, sort of inquired my son and, and then i did get a of the 2nd highest civilian award from france. i think producing actually elevates the joint e of wilson and i, or i always feel it. how can i add value? and then it just becomes a mission that i take over. so it has been putting a lot of emotions into work. and over the years, learning self satisfied substance and now over the years feeling stable and you have got to ask us. yes. so i think that's the 1st and then you know,

technically i have 11 oscar which is fine and defend this press, which is on my name, peter, the end of sentence or script game for the film i have. so if there's an executive producer on the phone with my company's a candidate even producing the front, what is it called ssl, secure uh to keep learning the learning. yeah, secure entity in mon, mom named it was it kept reduced defeated, independence was one of the producers and i served as an executive producer. so my food one in oscar. but for me, in my name, i have one of for elephant visitors where i served as a producer. how does your dream keep shifting from one thing to another offense? one is a job. yeah, one is producing the fed. one is sort of letting me put and defend together that gives you a sense of satisfaction, but you also want to take him to some place that has no other answer to this. i love doing this, above and beyond. it's what makes my be me explain night makes my morning i am 40,

consumed and is in service of the cut off. i love making sense wanting to night. i'm thinking about stories and thinking what characters i'm thinking of. how can she and all of that for the get added? what is the space? what are the films that have been made it on the way on this? you know how to educate yourself? yes, that is the commerce bit of it, the art widow for this only as again as a producer shift between both. and you know, when i read something, my 1st thought is, who's the best in the body to do this? who's the best and the boy who has done this. and i literally think that everything is a good to the separations of the so me, right. i the child i discuss, i expose scripts early on doing this for 15 years. i have some beautiful mentors around the world in europe and us in canada and news and, and, and some cool productions have been beautifully big. i just did a jordanian indian corporate option. you know,

1st of its kind female producer from the boys, i think that is also thinking like i did forward are similar. i don't work for the awards. they happen, you know, but i definitely keep myself aware of what's happening in the we're going to a film festival attending, so i'm just watching you consume. what do we think back to us investor? where do each, the one you know, for me, i'm just like, or this is working. you know, this is how the audience in canada built onto reacted general. uh, maybe we can, you know, attempt alejandro like this in india. and he recently made a phone call again, which is an extreme action from it says, you all know that's never been done in india. it's a 100 minutes and with 90 minutes of action, non stop action in a close space of a 3 and the moving team. just that experience, you know, is something that we've seen internationally within india. it's the 1st and repeated into it onto a bit. so with the 1st in the interim, that'll be sort of globally and, and if sort the us right and rest of the word rights. and if you release globally,

but norm, that's what our distributors, wiley also will expanded to that us, but also integrating the businesses that this individual data a larger team. how do i expand the footprint of this story? sits at the center of every production and bottom apart from other india. and i think lavonne, yes, these are the only 2 feeling division, mid to the 5 finalists and no other feeling. yeah. and then from avoid which believes and leads cinema. what is it that lacks us, not just only for india, it's for around the world, any country. and we're all in one got to deals internationally since the whole war since that entries from the country and some of the foreign friends are unbelievable compared to the feeling that us and from yeah, yeah, i've actually more than 2 to be part of that community because it's just me so much that the i was like, you know, i gone to the corner and just point fingers. i'm happy to say that the media. i want to see how does this decision mean. so, you know,

certain one us to just understand that this is an american of what, you know, this is an award that happens in us. yes. and it is gained popularity globally. you know, so this is a competition. and you send you a best foot forward in the competition that thoughts i feel like and, and from me being in the committee or that was taught, that was on the table. what wp is the best. so that taught, i see, well, just a few steps back. unfortunately, the taught us is on what will be accepted exactly the academy will those who vote us credit on the words? how do these will does here to both of them. if the for the mislead at a big festival is the same as one that are festival. if this and this phone distribution in us, then there's a lot of publicity marketing that happens for that data. which is finding distribution that, that is the basis of word of mouth to drive it across us in levels globally. if we don't put all these criteria into watch selection process or that understanding,

i think that has to be a filter. since i've traveled to fest general is step one, and that is the importance of estimates and programmers. they go to every country and discover the gems of defense in every language, and then they put it on the whole watermark if they've been, it can easily win at the toronto ad, berlin and bullying. and then you'd already been one of these 5 festivals. if programmed at 20 festival, that's a mix of english press students that is assumed to be submitted. and if it has a us distributional, then you'll know that there will be a lot of knowledge in a running the campaign. that kind of knowledge is something that each 1 may go from you. by the time they get there and loan and hire team, it's truly massive campaigns of all of the have. massive word of mouth has already happened for many more countries. it is at the center of us not moving forward, so not even log on hats when you,

but your classic lunchbox had so many. but you also, it's unfortunate lunchbox is not central media. it's an american be running the campaign and they have done it for $56070.00. the deal is so freaking out of the festival in step one criteria. and step 2, if you have an american distribute what that kind of breach needs to be made. and that kind of knowledge needs to be widespread that great the needs to be a lens of the committee. otherwise the operating in a solution of festivals are all just also now have their own clique that it's very difficult to break into that. that is a process like the old start somewhere 2012. i had videos and games it was supposed to collect a debt again in different sections, 2013. it was, uh, once you're in our section, i'm just saying that no what, how does that even happen? is uh, showing up at the festival to meet the programmers. you put that effort and also it's the job of program was to discover new voices to be able to do it for them says no it's, it's a part of it's, it's a part of the job. like any executive,

it's the job to discover new language, new food because new kind of storytelling or something that breaks tito. they have something that stands out in the cut off of cinema. so i think interacting with the program was only one meeting them in a go off in festival, or at mommy all of them come and they're looking for for me to meet with the indian, the programmers unhappy doing track and being all the program was in blendy other festivals and they all know each other, you know, they all the attendance they even if you don't have to apply those and i think go visit, you know, meet people and talk to them. awesome. what they're looking for, share what you are doing that effort of putting yourself out there needs to happen . and that is something i've done over and over and over and over and over again. and that is likely it's an email to be, but it's yours. it's becky, and just, you know, showing up what needs a producer, who does this, this is the,

do you have yourself a you but trained by your friends mother? have you train people many that other young producers who work with me? yeah, it's important. it'd be done with the selected, i'd take my being with me because it's important for them to also see how to network this. how do you know, apply to like go to, can applied for the produces breakfast. you know, it's a few 100 utilized window, but it builds your network as how and this is what, why when a director is also the producer, there's only this much a director can do, can only lease the money and make the joys more powerful producer director as a means the director is an employee of the producer and a 100 percent equity industry. so and the we are a star based systems also produce uninterrupted to be involved in the. yeah. so it's a very strong exactly into being was absolutely, this is a, it's of any time that you had any argument to be her. yeah. and her legal and ization. so that's the, whoever has a better idea. you know, i know the, the,

it's been well good, it's been walker to gets not. i mean, you either choose to participate. we have a lot of fun decisions early on. your best improvement cv, put little at least any school that goes out of the canada in has had like to indeed jobs. so a lot of gone was asian. it's almost 2 years of development that does happen. so they've pretty much in sync. i do a lot of screenings of anyone like non filling people to come and watch friends way before the least. if they have a force on mics, just on the edits, people come and see and it's amazing. you know, we feel like people the lot understand people are very intelligent. so when are you detecting? if i intend to be up to you, so i don't, you don't like to ignore. i love reducing. it allows me to mean every genre it allows me to, you know, marty task and how and build and then fired on. so i want to be, i believe i'm in the as best producer globally. i agree with. and i want the service that belief system of mine through the d. i was eating some good that you

want a future friend to and yes and is waiting to happen here. and also to get that selected from india, if you were to advise, would you, what on the advisory board of today is part of what are the different areas you would want to sort of say, the beach and the, the, the area that we can improve upon as talk about 2 things in cinema, which is my which is the place i can add value and i can having travelers the world having done go production all kids having done. so not being too dr to all of that . we have a lot of work to do in terms of involving them in my theme is uh them and lead. i'm doing a lot of them and legends on screen off screen. but when i looked at the statue, it was, it was an eye opening. and the stats were like less than 5 percent of them in our directors. so is it that you know, we don't get confidence to put money into 1st mp when the victors, you know, is it what is the buckling neck? and how does that open? is that a skill development that needs to happen for women writers or women directors is

the networking events that need to happen for them? is that interactions between agencies and actors exposure needs to happen. they need to travel to festivals, to see the kind of work that people are doing or they need to remain dojo, skin development and financial support. some sort of leveraging or mixture of this incentivizing so that the stats can change. we have just us the vision bill. yes, we have the finance ministers. yes, absolutely. and does a lady? absolutely. and in fact, a lot of studio heads now in our industry, evan, and this is the moment in dying. the 1st time you see the studios that are in bombay, the leg by them, and most of the majority of that the study happens yearly. and the 2nd year the study has now happened of the studies quite over one. yeah, it's one bathroom companion. me in less than 5 percent, they may not directors, if that can be conversations with, i am be with our ministry on incentive raising. the female workforce behind the

camera, especially phone story like directors. we're women and this starts going to increase . it'll be amazing. and 2nd, it's beyond my understanding, but i do feel like we are. we're progressing, sol, so well in terms of even i didn't trust drop tooth, but i do some live feel like, especially the mitchells, especially when we, i feel like our insight lay infrastructure. it is something that if we could be attention on in this coming couple of years, it is really, it needs someone to engine with also an on metro is getting made and i'm sure our governments are thinking about it is how do we come down on pollution you know, with that is a lot of incentivizing electric vehicles that is happening. you know, and i know that in the next 5 years, the to be an area of focus making a big cities as beautiful as in details of india. as indeed there's of bottom would be, are going to in headed. what is the bottom of your dreams in 2004,

the survivors of my dreams is equal is, is equal in the interface field. it's at the center of 50 to so multicultural. and that is the beauty of with you and the lanes of band. and, you know, you especially see decorated in christmas annual enter liens, and you'll see for the liens lit up in the body. and you know, and you, and you enter our liens. and you'll see midnight meals during eas impact as india or that as part of i see a lot of the people taking pride of the small load, you know, out of his stations. i see that out of going can region and not you know, the whole the be will be off loaded. that is so much unexplored still go ahead is wishing you an oscar for the future for them, for you. yes, for our country, for india, for you. i may, i featured in hudson. yes. and the states together. yes. and go to the tank. it was a need that has been wonderful talking to you. thanks so much nice of having and
