Actor Sargun Mehta, who is a prominent name in film and television industry, recently credited producer Ekta Kapoor for paving the way for more women filmmakers to come up and back content. Sargun herself has a slew of projects lined up as a producer including TV show, 바카라Badal Pe Paon Hai바카라.
"In TV, Ekta Kapoor cleared the way for everyone. She left no stone unturned to make sure that we didn바카라t have that hassle of being told, 바카라How will you do it (produce a show)?바카라. She already did it so much that nobody could question (a woman producer),바카라 Sargun told news agency PTI. She further mentioned how in Punjabi movies, people were not used to the idea of women producing, and underestimated her. 바카라They didn바카라t think that I바카라ll pull it (films) off the way I did,바카라 the actor said.
Sargun has produced several Punjabi films and TV shows like 바카라Kala Shah Kala바카라, 바카라Jhalle바카라, 바카라Udaariyaan바카라, and 바카라Junooniyat바카라, among others, but feels that acting is a far easier job than producing. 바카라I realised now that production is a thankless job. As an artist when I come on set, I feel, 바카라I바카라ve a lot of work to do바카라, but there are others like the unit (crew), the producer and creative team who have been working on it for months or years,바카라 she said.
She further mentioned how she feels happy to have started her acting journey in the Punjabi movie industry. After making her debut in 2015 with Punjabi romantic-comedy, 바카라Angrej바카라, she went on to star in several films, including 바카라Lahoriye바카라, 바카라Qismat바카라, 바카라Moh바카라, and 바카라Jatt Nuu Chudail Takri바카라. Sargun reiterated, 바카라At the time, the Punjabi movie industry wasn바카라t doing that great. Everybody asked me, 바카라Why are you doing it? I would be like, 'I love it and it's all good'. The industry has taken leaps and bounds in terms of growth.바카라
She further revealed how the Punjabi film industry is now making 60 films a year, and crossing Rs 100 crore at the box office. 바카라Everybody is hungry to do more and they are experimenting a lot,바카라 she said.
As for Bollywood, the actress, who had acted alongside Akshay Kumar in the 2022 film 바카라Cuttputlli바카라, said that joining Bollywood a decade ago seemed like a far-fetched idea. 바카라There weren't so many famous casting directors, and those who were there knew who we were. The opportunities are now in millions because of OTT. You meet casting directors, people are on Instagram,바카라 she added.
Her production 바카라Badal Pe Paon Hai바카라 is set to air on Sony SAB channel on June 10.
