The Indian entertainment industry, in the past few years has seen women leaders rising to the occasion like forces to reckon with. Not just female actors who portray strong and credible roles on-screen, we also have to talk about women leaders on other creative fronts who have been truly doing good work to create impact. And then of course, there are also individuals who can literally do both with perfection. An independent female actor who’s got a strong sense of both acting as a craft as well as entertainment as a business can certainly shine in both roles of an actor and producer and although limited, we have seen successful examples of that. So today, we want to talk and highlight the achievements and milestones of three such individuals from the entertainment industry who first started off as actors and are now creating a positive aura with their work as an actor as well as a Producer. Let’s check out the list below:
1) Anushka Sharma: The diva had the most incredible debut with ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ many years back and ever since then, she’s certainly grown from strength. Today, she’s an established and successful producer who’s creating quality-driven content and giving opportunities to others to showcase their talent. Some of the projects produced by her are NH10, Paatal Lok, Pari and more.
2) Nanda Yadav: If this is a conversation about female actors turning Producers, there’s absolutely no means we can miss out on this name. She’s the most recent success story of a female actor leaving her mark as a performing artiste and also building the credibility in the market to become a successful Producer. Although it’s just early days for the ‘Shiksha Mandal’ actor as a Producer, she has managed to sign some really top names in her debut Production project. Nanda has signed Barun Sobti, Rajshri Deshpande, Ashish Vidyarthi, Yashpal Sharma and other eminent actors for her upcoming movie ‘Hawks’ and we truly can’t wait for this to unleash on-screen. She certainly managed to pull off a stellar cast in her debut Production venture and it’s only going to be onwards and upwards for her going forward.
3) Pragya Kapoor: This stunning lady is another classic example of a female actor successfully transitioning into a Producer. As a Producer there’s still a long way forward for her to go but the journey did start on a positive note with her with a project like ‘Kedarnath’ featuring the late Sushant Singh Rajput and Sara Ali Khan that was quite loved by the audience. Her credibility ensures that she’s well respected among her peers.
Kudos to Anushka Sharma, Nanda Yadav and Pragya Kapoor for truly leading the way from the front and showing that empowered women are literally limitless in the true sense of the term. Here’s wishing them good luck and success for all their future endeavours both as actors as well as Producers.
