Ektaa spoke about the safety of women

Ektaa began, "Women and their safety is not just an industry issue. (It is) a workplace issue, and we take this very seriously. Like I said, a lot of women have to now lead, so that a lot of women can now join forces. To that, two female producers coming together to make a film on a crime story which is sorted by a female officer is also a step. At creating some kind of safety and power."

She added, "We have to change the agency from men to women and equalize the agency. A lot of places we need women at the top and running companies. For that a lot of women will also have to take the initiative. The report will come and we will read more about it. But a conscious effort to keep a safe environment for women at any place at work, a big part of it will be women leading professional jobs. I think that has to start happening it is still a very slanted place."

The Buckingham Murders releases in theatres on September 13.
