Ekta Kapoor and Alankrita Shrivastava join hands for another film
Ekta presented Lipstick Under My Burkha, directed by Alankrita
"The future is female," said Alankrita
Alankrita Shrivastava said, "I'm really excited about collaborating with Ekta Kapoor and Balaji for my next film. I think it needs courage and a certain risk-taking ability to back films like the ones I want to make. And I'm so glad to have found a brave producer and presenter in Ekta.
"The future is female, and I think more women collaborating is the change that we need to see. Not just in India, but the world over."
Ekta was the presenter of Prakash Jha's production Lipstick Under My Burkha - which struggled for certification from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) earlier this year over its sexual scenes and abusive words.
The film, featuring Ratna Pathak Shah, Konkona Sen Sharma, Ahana Kumra and Plabita Borthakur, was later cleared for a theatrical release by the Film Certification Appellate Tribunal (FCAT). It opened in India in July last year.
