Ram Madhvani, Sushmita Sen discuss term ‘women-centric film’ as Aarya 3 releases today
During an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, the filmmaker and the actress sat down for a chat and discussed how they perceive the term ‘female-centric film’. Talking about the same, Ram Madhvani said how the conversation surrounding it doesn’t exist for him and also termed it ‘wrong’.
“We should feel bad because that means that there is something wrong with society that we have to speak about and I think those are things that are certainly to ride women-centric. It’s a raw story, it’s a feminist story, it’s about a character and that character is something that she goes through and I don’t think we are here trying to gender this or that,” he said.
Sushmita also opined on the same and said how the language is typically used for cinema. “Luckily, for us, it's been very character-centric. The character would have been a man or woman or otherwise. As I have played,” she said.
To this, the filmmaker responded, “We are waiting for a day we get to hear ‘Oh you are making a man-centric film’.”
