Dr Abdul Rehman Vanoo
Dr Abdul Rehman Vanoo, who is elected as the General Secretary of Dadasaheb Phalke Film Foundation, is a man of integrity, hard work and excellence. He is General Secretary from 2018 .He always had a vision to uplift and upgrade the technicians of hindi film industry and he has taken huge efforts in that direction. We all know how the lockdown and the pandemic has proved to be very tough for the daily wage workers like Spot Boys, Lightmen, Art department staff and technicians in the film world. Dr Vanoo was responsible for sending daily essentials and money to the needy during this period even in the outskirts of Mumbai areas like Virar and Palghar. He said, "The industry is not filled with just actors, producers, writers and directors. While the spotlight is always on them in most award functions, we feel that the technicians including spotboys, cameramen and lakhs of people who work for their daily wages on the sets are also contributing to making a film and the final product. So, we made sure that they do not suffer during this period. We supplied daily essentials to them in various parts of Mumbai."
