Ritika Anand talks about her dual role of actor and producer of JL50 

In an official statement to Cinestaan, Ritika Anand talked about her dual role of an actor and producer of JL50. She said that acting is her passion and producing is her profession. She has always known how to be a producer and act in a film simultaneously. She also mentioned that she originally became a producer to create opportunities for her as an actor and now she knows no other way. Talking about it, Ritika Anand said that it is a win-win situation for her.

Producing content gives her a chance to bring forward a good idea into reality and also frees her passion for acting from the burdens of making a living out of it.  She further added that producing movies earns her bread and it also allows her to not have to ever settle for acting jobs that she may not want or she isn’t comfortable with.

Talking about the dual role on JL50, Ritika Anand added that apart from having to gather money for next day’s shoot between her scenes as an actor, all of her experience has been great and humbling.
