Pad Man Producer Prerna Arora: ‘Women in all aspects of filmmaking need to be celebrated’

As a proponent for inclusivity, filmmaker Prerna Arora asserts that now, more than ever, female-oriented films are essential to challenge stereotypes and ignite conversations. She urged other filmmakers and audiences to embrace the richness of female narratives.

“Female-oriented stories are meant to challenge the status quo associated with conventional storytelling. They are like revolutions waiting to unfold and pave the way for a more inclusive cinematic landscape. Women in all aspects of filmmaking need to be celebrated and the stereotypes associated with us should be shattered," said the filmmaker, who has produced films such as Pari (2018), Toilet: Ek Prem Katha (2017), Pad Man (2018) and others.

Arora's contribution to the transformative shift in the industry continues with her upcoming film Hero Heeroine. The film is a pan-India project starring Divya Khossla in the lead role, while Tusshar Kapoor, Suchitra Krishnamoorthi and others play pivotal roles.
