Veteran actor Anil Kapoor's younger daughter Rhea who makes her debut as a producer with Aisha says that B-town was never a man's world. Rhea said Aishwarya Rai was the international face of the Hindi film industry and there were several examples of women producers who have done well even at the international level like Mira Nair. "Bollywood is also a woman's game. It was never a man's world," she said.

Aisha, inspired by Jane Austen's Emma stars Rhea's elder sister Sonam and Abhay Deol, releases on August 6. She said director Rajshree Ojha and Devika Bhagat who has written the screenplay and dialogues narrated the script to her and Sonam. "Both of us liked the script and our father agreed to be our guide," she said. "My dad is happy with the end product and so am I. I am confident of the way the film has turned out," she added. Rhea said she has no plans to follow the footsteps of Sonam and added that she was looking forward to handle the production responsibilities of Anil Kapoor Film Company(AKFC). She however, is not averse to take up direction after establishing herself as a producer. "I may direct movies after I am comfortable with the production setup," Rhea who worked as production assistant on Wake Up Sid! said.
