The filmmaker said, “We at Dharma Productions have always maintained the ethos of actually making sure that everyone, and I include men and women, artists and technicians and everyone are paid solidly for their craft, art their ability and worth.”

He added, “All of us are here for a blend of commerce and art. None of us are here for just one of them, it’s for both. It’s something that I endorse very strongly. When it comes to female films, we’ve always made sure that actually there has never been a disparity at our end. There is now profit share given. In the near future, you will see a Producer credit given to female-led films where they dominate the film, lead the film, that they must have the humongous part of the pie.”
