Actor Huma Qureshi, who has given powerful roles in films like Gangs of Wasseypur, Badlapur, Monica, O My Darling and OTT shows Leila and Maharani, is delighted to see the interesting 바카라shift바카라 in the way storytellers are approaching women characters on screen.
바카라In recent years, we are seeing more such (women centric) films, the new term is female-led films. For me, it is not the female-led films that are creating a sense of empowerment. Today, when I read a script, the character of the girl is not just contributing towards the hero바카라s journey or is not someone waiting for the war hero to return home. Rather, we think why can바카라t a girl go on the border? So, that shift in the way we are approaching women-enriching stories, storytelling has come about. There are many other colleagues of mine, who are saying give us more to do,바카라 the 36-year-old actor said here on Friday.
She was participating in a panel discussion on 바카라The role of media and entertainment in empowering women바카라. The conversation was part of a special segment 바카라Her Story, Her Voice바카라 organized by Netflix and the National Commission of Women.
Huma said Alia Bhatt바카라s Darlings, a dark comedy, and the 2020 drama Thappad with Taapsee Pannu in the lead role, are some of her recent favourite films that broke the stereotypes in terms of storytelling 바카라When I saw that film (바카라Thappad바카라), I was like, I wish I had done the film but Taapsee did a wonderful job and Anubhav (Sinha, director) sir directed a beautiful film,바카라 she said, reports PTI.
바카라In a country where domestic violence is quite prevalent to talk and fight about, one 바카라Thappad바카라 in itself and we know how conventional theatrical business runs, like who will watch this film? This is a bundle idea and this is how people talk. But the film to come and to do well at the box office, it gave me a lot of heart,바카라 she added
Citing the example of Quentin Tarantino바카라s 2012 movie Django Unchained, Huma said in the film Leonardo DiCaprio plays a white guy, who hates black people, but actors sometimes pick such dark characters to send across a message.
바카라As an actor, sometimes, you are given something to do which is problematic and it is a personal choice. I am offering a perspective. I was watching the making of 바카라Django바카라 and he (Leonardo) said, 바카라There was a moment where I had to spit on my fellow actor, and I couldn바카라t do it as it was disturbing, humiliating another person on the basis of his colour and his race.
바카라바카라But it is also generational racism that is going on and what the film is trying to address.바카라 He chose to do the film because an actor of his stature doing it would create a conversation around it. So, sometimes it can be used to an advantage.바카라 The Delhi-born actor also spoke on the importance of having more representation of women at work places to create a safe environment.
바카라We need strong, powerful women. We try in my company to have as many numbers of females in the crew as possible, for the safer environment it is. That is the fact바카라 A lot of us don바카라t speak of sexual harassment because we don바카라t want to be that girl. If there are more women, they will be able to relate and take action,바카라 she said.
