From providing nursing rooms to organising regular meetings with the female crew, Vidyut Jammwal lays down ground rules to make his production house gender-inclusive

Vidyut Jammwal
In April, as Vidyut Jammwal was readying for the release of his maiden production IB 71, the actor-turned-producer had told Mid-day that he wanted to bring changes not only on screen, but also off it (When I played a baddie, they said my career is over, April 27). It looks like he is staying true to his word. As he begins work on his yet-untitled next in Mumbai, we hear Jammwal has set ground rules for day-to-day functioning on projects backed by Action Hero Films. The objective is to make the workplace gender-inclusive and safe for women.
Before the project went on floors, the actor apparently ensured that the set had various facilities catering to women’s needs. This included the provision of nursing rooms to support new mothers, and clean and separate bathrooms that are equipped with menstrual hygiene items. More importantly, he has laid emphasis on having a zero-tolerance policy against misconduct and harassment of any kind.
