So many brilliantly made male-led films have captivated me, but I have always believed that there should be more room for female-led films. Movies like Bond, Mission: Impossible, Bourne Identity, and Die Hard, which I passionately devour, have always made me yearn for a chance to play the lead in such a film. It was like an 'aha!' moment for me when I realized that men also enjoy watching action films with female leads. We have the power to create more of these films, so let's make them happen. With newfound confidence, we embarked on the journey to develop Heart of Stone.
