Vikramaditya Motwane...Unplugged

Director, producer and screenwriter Vikramaditya Motwane falls into that category of filmmakers whose entire library of work is both diverse and impressive - his directorial debut was Udaan (2010), which he followed up with movies like Lootera (2013), Trapped (2017), and Bhavesh Joshi Superhero (2018).

Motwane has also been assistant to Sanjay Leela Bhansali, collaborating with him on the films Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999) and Devdas (2002).

Netflix's first Indian series Sacred Games was created by Motwane along with Anurag Kashyap. At a recent event in the city that had discussions on the changing fabric of films with regards to gender, we spoke to him on several issues. Excerpts:

On women getting lead roles

Compared to where we were 15 years ago, the industry has witnessed progressive evolution. One size-fits-all does not apply anymore. Women have been leads in many shows and movies. To be able to have women as leads for a lot of content is a sign of progressive change.

On POSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) awareness increasing on film sets
