Vivek’s experience:
As co-producer on Udta Punjab, apart from budgeting and production control, authenticity was the director’s biggest desire, considering we were dealing with such an important, and relevant issue.
We quickly realised that in order to achieve that, we would have to shoot on real locations. With 4 big Bollywood stars starring in the floor, crowd control and management became our biggest challenge. The heat and dust storms in Punjab were the other big challenge, but we managed to work through it all to make a great film.
At A Richer Lens, we’re experts at taking a film from script to screen. From budgeting, scheduling and production services including crewing up in any part of the world to post production supervision and final delivery, we do it all!
