Deepika Padukone is the new MAMI chairperson

At a recently held board meeting of the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival with Star, Deepika Padukone was unanimously voted as the new chairperson of MAMI. Her notable evolution into a credible actor, her connect with the audience across the globe, especially with youth, and her incredible work to create awareness about mental health in the country played a crucial role in this decision. 

Deepika, who is now both an actor and a producer, has played an important role in propelling and changing the narrative around women in Indian films. The board hopes that under her leadership, the festival will continue to flourish and attract newer and younger audiences.
