Reflecting on the movie, Zoya Akhtar said, “It’s so disturbing that this kind of behaviour towards women exists. It makes their lives in a workplace hellish. This film
makes you see how important it is to speak about these issues and how important it is that we stand up for one another. Women need to feel safe at work and whoever has a platform needs to shout that out. So thank you Lionsgate for this bombshell.”
