Many women will have to take the lead: Ekta
Ekta Kapoor, producer of ‘The Buckingham Murders’, said, ‘Women’s safety is not just an industry issue. It concerns every woman in the workplace and we take this issue seriously.
And as I said, ‘Now a lot of women have to lead so that a lot of other women can join in.’
On this occasion, citing the example of her film, she said that two female producers together made a film in which a female officer solves a criminal case. This is in a way a step towards safety and power.
On this occasion, Ekta also expressed her opinion on the Hema Committee report.
‘Women will have to take the initiative for change’
Ekta further said, ‘We have to change the agency from men to women and make it equal. We need women in top positions or running companies. And for this, women will have to take the initiative.
As I said, a report will come and people will read more about it, but maintaining a safe environment for women in any workplace has to start from the women themselves.
Kareena Kapoor’s film ‘The Buckingham Murders’, made under Ekta’s banner, will be released in theatres on 13 September.
It is the responsibility of men to provide a safe environment: Hansal
On this occasion, Hansal Mehta, director of ‘The Buckingham Murders’ said- ‘Men also have the responsibility to provide an environment of equality and security. The time has come for us to accept this and see ourselves safe in the eyes of the people.’
Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ash Tandon, Ranveer Brar and Keith Allen are seen in lead roles in ‘The Buckingham Murders’. Its trailer was released on 3 September. The film will be released in theaters on 13 September.
