Journalists Mallika Kapur and Gayatri Rangachari Shah's book 'Changemakers: Twenty Women Transforming Bollywood Behind the Scenes' spotlights the Indian women who are creating stories that are"more relevant, more contemporary, more real."
Written by journalists Mallika Kapur and Gayatri Rangachari Shah, the book was released in October 2018, coincidentally just as the #MeToo movement made a breakthrough in India and led to a wave of allegations against prominent men in the entertainment industry.spotlights a diverse group of 20 women that includes studio heads, producers, directors, makeup artists, stylists, screenwriters, lyricists, editors, choreographers, stunt artists, set designers and others working in Hindi cinema.
As journalists, we were intrigued. Remember, Bollywood isn't just an industry in India, it's an emotion. The country is obsessed with Hindi films and they influence the way we think, dress, speak, love and live. Having more women working in this space had the potential to change the industry — and our society — in a seismic way.
So, we started digging around for information. Who were these women working in Bollywood? What are their stories? How are they changing Hindi cinema? The more research we did, the more convinced we were that we had to record this moment in our history and that we had to shine a light on these incredible women who are changemakers.: We worked on the book for around a year and a half. We approached the project like we would any other news story. We did extensive research.
