With several women actors proving that they are capable of carrying a film on their shoulders, gender pay disparity has become a talking point in Bollywood. Karan Johar, one of the biggest forces in the Hindi film industry, is taking the lead in making the industry a level-playing field. In a first-of-its-kind move, the filmmaker intends to practise the profit-sharing model — a privilege that male superstars have enjoyed so far — with female actors for his forthcoming women-led films.
"Soon, a producer credit will be given to [the women headlining the] female-led films because of which they deserve to have a humongous part of the pie. When it comes to female-led films, there has never been a disparity from our end. We have done profit-sharing with them [in the past]," says Johar.
