In some ways, Mrs, which revolves around a new bride whose life is suddenly restricted to the kitchen, reflects the truth of many women in India. While Sanya Malhotra has brought this story to life on screen, director Arati Kadav chose women for different roles behind the camera too. From editor Prerna Saigal and writer Anu Singh Choudhary to production designer Nida Diwan and creative producer Tasneem Lokhandwala, women were at the helm of many key roles. Sources say that more than 50 per cent of the film’s crew was female.
