“I’ve been told to adjust for a male hero several times.”
“When The Dirty Picture released, I remember getting this call from the owner of this cinema in Bandra and he said, ‘Madam aap toh hero hain.’ I do think there is an inherent sexism when you say you are the hero of the film, but I also know where it is coming from. Considering that all this while, heroes have been the centre of every film for decades. So I let that be. But I began to feel a sense of vindication because there was anger in me. When I was told multiple times for several films that the hero has given the dates so you have to adjust, we won’t get his dates later. Khoon khaulta tha mera. I might be committed to some other film, but I would have to change things around.”
Well, we all know that Vidya has been a gem of a actor and a great human being. And of course we wish all the best to her movie from the entire team of filmymantra.
