between all the success and all the literally treasures. a sense of belonging is something that is a virtue that is most important to me in my life and, and it's video and i feel that i have a set of fuel for parents. now, a beautiful family and they're very proud and i think right that is dead in their eyes and in their voice for me is the most beautiful reward in the world above and beyond everything that's so true and shining computer. the name was osmond. yes, we need moma and you needed a couple show a name. now i'm looking for a couple 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 that there isn't a mazda single for the number. was out of go to everything, just transferred to united story, a little time traveling. you would in college,

are you in school as growing up yours is by no certain 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 families, but my best friends model under the dust regular is their name and she used to be a production coordinator in international phones. and i used to just be holding dunn's and done so all absorbing 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. yes. you know, selling or 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 heard in don's and don't ever since i was 1516 and kept going. and by the time i was 1920,

i was lying producing big international trends in the canadian of french italian from using an imax document freeze for the shots. 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 then needed a fall, whichever showed the technical skills with all in monday. 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 late 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, you'd also be 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 dot and that journey began bombay for me. and that's when i really committed myself to move

yet and being that can be from industry, which was your 1st feeling that you produce. i've reduced defend when i was 21. my 1st friend was go see 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 if it's under mine, into a producer to 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 man. 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 these money then of figuring, negotiating of all the activities director,

making sure that contracts negotiation is done and then you 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 very

a just but as culture, little more than gender, we kind of, you know, not accept the young as an equal. so i colored my head like, you know, i was 26 producing gangs with less of foot or, and i at that point of him 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 direct thing with 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, easter did the question, s the guess this really turkey is only for because like, exactly any kind of discrimination is not something that you see upfront and 11 on so forwarded upfront. it's older you'll is utilized and then you also react with that. and then you know, so my reaction to that was started reading studies, 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 to 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 words you don't or the days it's really life. no, no, yes, he has so many of them in on sets up some so many of the men introducing rules exemptions 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 started coming, art is as producer on so many phones over the years of something. so the god of us lunchbox us on shed on shy he gang so less that but i let sort of that equal to color. none of these pictures feature me very suddenly,

only different thing about do it for 2 weeks or so we will change that we, we make that change up, but it is a life i'm going to add a member. one of the family dinners is to like, you see you and magazines is you news people you to produce it, but that must be somebody you are reporting to know. i said no, no, i am so, but they couldn't believe it. they like they must have somebody or digging or does from like somebody will tell you how do you know how to do it. i said, i do a loan that you listen to do. last you appeared in to 16 is back. yeah. may i ask you how yes, unfortunately they were both on when my mom left last the battery against me and my dad had the very high diabetes and kidney 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 jake, extremely loved by them. uh, they have really empowered me made me travel. the words above and beyond their means to this the success, to some extent this saw uh, northwestern 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 when i bought took featuring john child director i got a mock the hood that song which my mom was so so proud of. and i still don't need that as a dedication to her. mom could not see that from that saw this and, and then that to who were you doing this all for? we always want to say something to look. yeah. my, my dad, that integrates or not, i've done something so amazing your so right. the actually, i think i just adopted dreams of every detective. i produce trends 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 to me actually like i have mental angels. i have a way of talking to them calling upon them, saying, help me here. you know, i'm 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 you'd like them, guided me for sure. and veterans don't leave. 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 a phone call lunchbox. then i used it again, sort of inquired my son and, and then i did get the 2nd highest civilian award from france. i think producing actually elevates the joint e of wilson and i, or i always see 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 social set of fact 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 from this press, which is on my name, peter, the end of sentence or script game for this them i have. so if there's an executive producer on the phone with my company's a candidate introducing the front, what is it called ssl, secure? uh, to keep learning the learning. yeah. secure and to be and mom named it,

i'll just say kept it used 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 for elephant visitors when i served as a producer. how does your dream keep shifting from one pin to another for this 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 speech? is one of 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 odd window for this only is again as

a producer shift between both and you know, when i read something, my 1st part 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 during this will 15 years. i have some beautiful mentors around the world in europe and us in canada and using and, and some cool productions have been beautifully big. i just did a jordanian and then co production. you know, 1st of its kind female producer from the board. i think that is also thinking like i did forward are similar. i don't work for the awards the happen. you know, but the, i definitely keep myself aware of what's happening in the we're going to, if invested was attending, just watching you can do what 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 in, uh, which is an extreme action. so 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 we played it into it onto a did 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 expand it to that us, but also including the businesses that this individual data law doing. 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 bleeds 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 gutted the us international 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 has to be 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 way the 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 your best foot forward in the competition that thoughts i feel like and, and from me being in the committee or that was the part that was on the table. what

v think 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 are spread it on the way. 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 a festival is the same as phone distribution in us. and 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 and levels globally. if we don't put all this great media 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 horde watermark if they've been it can easily win at the toronto ad, berlin and bullying

a venue. lloyd been one of these 5 festivals if program are 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 as 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 to beam, it's truly massive campaigns of all of the have. massive word of mouth is already happen for many more countries. it is at the center of us not moving forward. so not even log on hats when you get your drastic lunchbox had so many victor classic, it's unfortunate lunchbox has not central media. it's an american be running the campaign and they have done it for $56070.00 videos. so freaking out of the fest one step one criteria and step 2, if you have an american distribute to work that kind of bridge needs to be made and that kind of knowledge needs to be widespread. that good idea needs to be

a lens of the committee. otherwise we had operating an explanation 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 festivals to meet the programmers. you put that effort and also it's the job of program was to discover new voices to the good 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 to attract and being all the program was in blendy other 50 was 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, talk to them. austin, what they're looking for, share or do 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 hands off, you know, showing up one needs of the new. so who does this, this is the, do you have, you know, you, but trained by your friends mother? have you trained people many that other young producers who work with me? yeah, it's important. every time with them is selected. i 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 apply 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 the smart to detect the can do, can only lease the money and make the joys more powerful. producer director, the usa and the director is an employee of the producer and a 100 percent equity industry. so, and the we are a star based system also produces in rock grid to be involved in the. yeah. so it's a very strong exactly. and to be in one of sleep, this is a, it's any time you had any arguments to be her. yeah. you're saying how legal and ization. so that's a level as a better idea. you know, i know the, the, it's been well good. it's been walter to gets not. i mean, you either choose to participate. we have a lot of fun decisions early on your best improvements to be put little at least any school that goes out of the canada and has had like to indeed jobs. so a lot of gone was asian, it's almost 2 years of development that has happened. so they've pretty much in sync. i do a lot of screenings of anyone like non food people to come and watch friends and we

have a photo leased there before some weeks just on the edits. people come and see and it's amazing. you know, we feel like people to not understand people are very intelligent. so when are you directing? if i intend to be of teachers, i don't, you don't like the know i love producing. it allows me to mean every genre it allows me to, you know, might be 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 to the d. i was eating some good that you want a future friend to then. yes and is waiting to happen. yeah, and also to get that selected from india, if you were to advise 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 do 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 waters having done cool production. all kids having done, you know, being to the doctor and all of that. we have a lot of work to do in terms of involving them in my theme is a lemon 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 women of 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 skilled development that needs to happen for them? and writers of them and 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 dogged your skin development and financial support. some sort of leveraging or mixture of this

incentivizing. so the be 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 those 2 deals 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 those studies quite over them. and yet it's run bathroom companion and less than 5 percent. they may not directors, if that can be conversations with, i am be with our ministry on incentive raising of the female workforce behind the camera, especially phone story like directors living in and this starts can 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 on infrastructure, what i do some live feel like, especially the metro, especially one way i feel like our insight, li, entrust,

structured it is something that is speak would 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 government so 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 areas 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 lobby and you know,

and you and you enter liens and you'll see midnight meals during eas, impact as india or not. that is part of, i see a lot of the people taking pride of the small load, you know, out of his stations. i see, but out of going can reach it and not, you know, the whole the b will be off, but 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 mean i featured in hudson. yes. and then go over that stage together. yes. and go to the tank. it was a neat, it has been wonderful talking to thanks so much nice of having and thankful for watching. and joining me next week for the empty minutes yet engaging debate. and let's start out of time on this kid much gotten of the video of alleged abuse by an officer today, the sheriff's deputy and columbia,

south carolina, forcibly removed a student from a classroom at spring valley high school. i saw him just talking to her and her and initially, you know, i didn't think is a problem because i knew that she was just, is quite a student in the class. someone looked at the police officer and says, here as law enforcement that is worse. clearly attacking, abusing power and it ended, there are others besides, this is what's wrong with those poorly be on discipline. black children, he was there enforcing the law to meet the crime, to quote, disturbed schools in any way. that means any disturbance that any kids causes in school is huge and forces never refer to for necessary. a tops people were never gonna change your mind. so people will never change their minds about video. they think i was wrong, and that's it seemed

wrong. just don't have to shape out and engagement because the trail when so many find themselves will support, we choose to look so common ground, the the

known in vietnam as the american war, the vietnam war. last, it's almost 2 decades and drained in numerous countries. not any time right now and then you don't see it. now. what is all i'm empty? hundreds of thousands of american troops was sent to the country to bank the south vietnamese on me. i bought that not, but american soldiers limited resistors. most of us like the down entire villages and spread dangerous chemicals and lee lead up day bye. all right. did the americans ever fully acknowledge what they did on the via the means? veterans ready to forgive? yeah, yeah, yeah. that's. that's a ways to go. yeah.

the in the headlines here and i'll show you the national, the u. n. agency, the palestinian refugees reopen, says east jerusalem headquarters offers property was set on fire by his riley's, according to the head of raw in the west by hoping to watch and you've got your patients and staff members killed another wounded. well, israel pounds put it off by a death fall on humanitarian workers mount some of the idea of campaign enclaves, health care system is set to be mostly on the right. the police just don't want the not supposed to be in the he's already conversation. is there any police abiding, tell us any and students from commemorating the deductible anniversary? until it be it's according to the student's organization which says it was to stop them from mocking the excel.
