Outlook's anniversary issue, curated by Editor Chinki Sinha and guest editors Aradhana Seth and Gautam Pemmaraju, is an ode to the below-the-line cinema workers.
Behind what appears on the silver screen is a vast, dynamic, living, breathing ecosystem of labour, material, technology and processes that shape the creative outcome of a film.
From the gaffer who lights up the set to the set dresser who resets the pillow covers, each person is an essential part of the story being told, Â the film being seen.
We bring to the limelight, some of these anonymous workers 바카라“ the backbones of any film.
Mulchand Dedhia, 64, started out as a lighting man for weddings and functions and used to install generators in 1967. He grew up in Charni Road in Mumbai and his father was a grain merchant. For a long time, his family didn바카라™t understand what he was doing. It was in 1978 that he saw a British gaffer working on lighting a set and decided to become a gaffer. He has worked on several films including Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011), Don (2006) and The Bourne Supremacy (2004).
