Writers are receiving love and respect but not monetarily, says CityLights director Hansal Mehta

Filmmaker Hansal Mehta on Wednesday said though writers and directors are given a lot of love and recognition in the film industry today but it still does not translate into monetary benefits. The filmmaker said the industry has come to realise that the role of a writer is very important."We have now begun to respect writing. We have begun to understand the role of writing in films and writers are slowly beginning to become the most important people in the developing of a film or series," Mehta told PTI.
