We need to draw a line, come out of a film, if you did not like it, cool. But now it has become so convenient to suggest some changes on what how it should have been done. It was a flawed character but there has to be some repercussions to that behaviour."Īlia said, "Everyone is entitled to their opinions. "I was entertained at first but then I began questioning myself on it. She says, "Unlike Vidya, I did feel the glorification. After I saw Arjun Reddy, and what I saw of it, I didn’t watch Kabir Singh."īhumi added that she had watched the original film and not Kabir Singh. Taapsee said that we have become too causal about violence in general. It is film and someone is chosen to tell the story.Why are we taking it so seriously?" I don't agree with it, I did not like the character. Vidya begun by saying, "It is a film who is telling a story of an individual and not particularly glorifying it. Steering towards the topic, Rajeev asked them if films are being too casual towards violence against women? The film was criticised for endorsing toxic masculinity and violence against women. Shahid's Kabir Singh, a Hindi remake of the Telugu film was surrounded with controversies ever since its release. "You are director's voice at the end of the day," added Alia. I know how she will react, and if the script starts to feel organic and scenes seem natural, I know that's the time to stop research."Īlia who is announced to portray Indian singer Gangubai HangalSanjay Leela Bhansali's next film said it depends on how the filmmaker wants you to portray that particular character. Vidya who will play mathematician Shakuntala Devi in an upcoming biopic said, "I have read so many videos and read about Shakuntala Devi that now at this point I have got a sense of how she is as a person. But research helps us set boundaries and manavoure our direction in right way." Taapsee said, "A hindrance is a hindrance only if you see it like that. Shooter Dadis were witty, cool and bad*ss." Because they were funny, progressive and really fun to have around. Moreover, it broke a lot of stereotype for me on what a ' dadi' is. "It wasn't an hindrance for me because I had read about them.

With the biopic rage at large currently, Rajeev questioned the actresses on how much research goes down while shooting and getting into the character for the film.īhumi and Taapsee who portrayed sexagenarian sharpshooters, Prakashi and Chandro Tomar in Saandh Ki Aankh, said that having them around the set was 'very comforting'. "The film felt like true tale of sisterhood, celebrating womanhood which is rarely seen." Taapsee revealed that for Badla, it felt like a onion peel, because there were so many layers attached to her character. For Bhumi, the interval scene in Saandh Ki Aankh pulled in the film. That captured the entire essence of the film, the mission, her personality, the story for me."

That scene stuck in my head and I wanted to feel it and wanted to feel how I would have done it. And I think it completely encapsulated the entire believe system. She added,"If I had to pick one scene from the film, it has to be where I am telling my son to pray to the power and not the picture. Vidya who played a scientist in Mission Mangal, said she found her character to be a wholesome person. "As a performer, there was so much in that scene (her monologue before interval) which underlines, in a subtle but definite way, on what all the film was trying to say."Īlia said that there wasn't a particular moment in Gully Boy that defined her decision for the film, but it was the overall feeling that left her with after she heard narration. Yami took the lead in the conversation and narrated her experience while portraying a TikTok star in Bala.
