Filmmaking (or, in an academic context, film production) is the process of making a film, generally in the sense of films intended for extensive theatrical exhibition. Filmmaking involves a number of complex and discrete stages including an initial story, idea, or commission, through screenwriting, casting, shooting, sound recording and pre-production, editing, and screening the finished product before an audience that may result in a film release and an exhibition. Filmmaking takes place in many places around the world in a range of economic, social, and political contexts, and using a variety of technologies and cinematic techniques.

After two debacles (Rascals and Department), Dharam Oberoi has stepped down from his post as CEO of Sanjay Dutt Productions. Dutt’s wife Manyata will now head the production house.

While insiders say, Dutt and Oberoi had a major fallout, the later maintains that the two continue to be good friends. Apparently, Oberoi has started his own production and will soon be announcing a new film.
