If you win at box office, gender doesn't matter: Anjali Menon

"Bangalore Days" director Anjali Menon says whenever she tries to do something different in a film, there are people who question her but a director's gender does not matter if the final product is accepted.

Anjali made her feature film debut in 2012 with "Manjadikuru" and followed it up with the massively successful "Bangalore Days" in 2014.

When asked if a woman's inputs are often not taken seriously since the industry is run by men, Anjali told PTI, "That happens across the board until the box office rings. If you win the box office, there's no gender. In every film, when I try to do different things people wonder 'but why?'
At the festival, the filmmaker is a part of the jury for Oxfam award, where the theme for this year's honour is 'Cinema Beyond Stereotypes.'
