Somy Ali dons the producer’s hat, launches Somy Ali Productions LLC

Former Bollywood actor and founder of the NGO No More Tears, Somy Ali, is launching her own production house, Somy Ali Productions LLC

Somy Ali believes having her own production house will give her control over the characters she plays and the societal issues she wishes to address

She is inspired by Hollywood actress Reese Witherspoon, who started her own production company due to limited roles after turning 40

Somy Ali was also influenced by actor Naseeruddin Shah's advice to create films independently, even using an iPhone if necessary

The production house will focus on controversial and often avoided topics such as abortion, the caste system, LGBTQ+ issues, and prolonged wars

Somy plans to work with new and aspiring actors who struggle to find opportunities due to a lack of industry connections

She has already written, performed, produced, and directed content herself, which will be available on her website

The website will also feature a talk show discussing real and significant issues, avoiding superficial topics

Somy Ali aims to use her platform to challenge norms and provoke thought on subjects like the persistence of the caste system and the fairness industry

Her new venture is all about giving herself the freedom to express and address important societal concerns through film and media
