Sunakali
After making ‘Sunakali’, I decided it is time I made a film on Chhaupadi which confines menstruating women into animal sheds. The society where I grew up considers menstruating women impure. We can get rid of this tradition only through women empowerment. And this is possible only if women succeed in doing something that even many men cannot do. Thus, I got women empowerment and mountaineering as the theme of my film.
I needed real characters for the movie. But it was very difficult to bring young women on board. My team initially shortlisted 15 women after inviting them, through a radio advertisement, to sit for an interview. We finalized four girls, but even they were initially unwilling to come on board.
We arranged a team of experienced climbers to instill confidence on these young girls who had not even trekked to the mountain areas. The success of the expedition is not only an important part of the script but will also be a defining moment in the life of these determined girls.
