Young Sarwat Gillani plans to revolutionize Pakistani cinema with women-centric films

Renowned 35 years old Pakistani Sarwat Gillani said that she is planning to reform showbiz industry by improving representation of women on the screen and ensure that they get vital parts off-screen as well. She also told that her friends from media industry like Mahira Khan, Aamina Sheikh, and Sanam Saeed are interested for collaboration to support her in achieving the objectives.

“We have rich friends, people who want to invest in films. We each bring 10 people, we start with four films. The topics can be about men and women, but we want to [create a set culture where] camerawomen are also present and women are hired as spotboys too,” She said

Furthermore, Sarwat went on to express her displeasure at her recently released Jawani Phir Nahi Aani 2 (JPNA 2) which she expected would have female-centric elements to it.

“They said our people aren’t ready for female-centric cinema yet. The unfortunate thing is that men take their families to watch films in the cinema, they want to see themselves as heroes.”

She further told: “There are very few people who would think beyond themselves, think of society, think of the woman to come after her. There are very few people to do this. It’s a difficult undertaking in itself because channels don’t support this, individual producers don’t support this, we keep talking about it but we have to build a platform.”
