Amitabh Bachchan, who has been highly acclaimed for his role in the feminist film Pink, has recently pointed towards increased presence of women in the film-production crew. At the launch of the book “Once Upon A Time In India – A Century Of Indian Cinema”, he has stated,
“During my time, there would be two women on set, the heroine and her mother.” The situation has now changed…”
“But now, 50 percent of the work force on a film set is female. I think that is a huge change. When young girls handle the film set whether it is production, camera, continuity department etc. you are just free as an artist to focus on your performance. Earlier, we used to handle our continuity. I like the fact how women are involved in the process of film-making. I hope more to come as director, writer and more that we have got in last few years.”
