Behind what appears on the silver screen is a vast, dynamic, living, breathing ecosystem of labour, material, technology and processes that shape the creative outcome of a film.

From the gaffer who lights up the set to the set dresser who resets the pillow covers, each person is an essential part of the story being told,  the film being seen.

We bring to the limelight, some of these anonymous workers – the backbones of any film.

Pappu Lekhraj is a junior artist supplier. He has been in the film industry for over 30 years and has worked with almost every production house from Yash Raj Films to Nadiadwala & Grandson. He has also been president of the Cine Agents Combine, a group that protects the interests of the suppliers in the film industry.
