Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 24 (ANI): Producer Dishaa Jhaa, daughter of renowned filmmaker Prakash Jha, who is carving her own path in the film industry, recently opened up about her journey in production and her experiences working on the series 'Sankalp'.

Known for her behind-the-scenes work, Dishaa has carved her own path in the film industry while carrying forward her father's legacy of impactful storytelling.

'I've always been more drawn to production. I didn't really consider acting,' she said, reflecting on her decision to pursue a behind-the-scenes career. 'From the beginning, I was working in direction, and later, as an assistant director. I enjoyed seeing everything come together and being a part of the process. That's what led me to choose production,' she told ANI.

Reflecting on her father's legacy in the industry, she acknowledged the added responsibility that comes with it. 'There's a certain expectation when you carry a name like his. People come with that in mind, and we strive to maintain the credibility of that name,' she said.

Looking ahead, she mentioned the upcoming project Ashram 4, which is currently in production. 'We are all eagerly waiting for it,' she added, signaling exciting times ahead with 'Raajneeti 2' writing on . 'So I think in the next few years, you will definitely see these two projects.
