So, I feel that a woman is the only one who can understand me. The unfairness of that situation is equal. As I said, there are certain experiences that women go through that are common irrespective of their class, caste and creed.

The notion that two women can’t be friends is something that was made by a man. I’d like to comment on the idea of sisterhood generally. I’m not going to make it very specific to show business. That’s why an actor like me has survived and that’s why I’m here because cinema has changed drastically but it’s not enough. Yes, we are in a better place than maybe the generations before us. I don’t think we are anywhere close to it. But I really hope that eventually the conversation shifts from a woman-led film or a man-led film to just a film that’s led by a character. It’s really sad if you have a woman-led story everything is just automatically cut down. We need our films to be treated like mainstream cinema. We are making a lot of films that are led by women but it’s not just as actors, we need more directors, producers, technicians. We definitely have a long way to go but I don’t think we should be satisfied or okay with where we have reached. On radical underrepresentation of women in Bollywood She also spoke about her recent association with Whisper’s #KeepGirlsInSchool campaign which aims at deepening awareness on how even today, girls across India drop out of school on hitting puberty. In this conversation, Bhumi, who has genuinely made a conscious effort to increase representation of different kinds of women on screen through her films such as Dum Laga Ke Haisha, Sonchiriya, Saand Ki Aankh and Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare, has delivered honest and blunt jabs at the industry’s treatment of female-led stories, pop-culture’s distorted depiction of women. Time and again, the 31-year-old actress has raised her voice against extensive gender and power imbalances in Bollywood and around the country. Known for her celebrated and risky acting choices, Bhumi Pednekar is also a force to be reckoned beyond cinema. Besides, Varun Dhawan, Sanjay Dutt and Aditya Roy Kapur, the film also stars Madhuri Dixit Nene, Alia Bhatt, Sonakshi Sinha and Kunal Khemmu.Sad That a Film's Budget is Automatically Cut When There's a Woman-led Story, Says Bhumi Pednekar

Slated to release in April, the film’s trailer is expected to be released around March 11. Produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, Sajid Nadiadwala and Fox Star Studios, Kalank is directed by Abhishek Varman. The beautiful and serene poster is also in contrast to the extreme unrest depicted in the backdrop of the new posters. The poster had an elegantly draped actress sitting in a boat with the back turned towards the viewers. Yesterday (March 6), the makers had surprised everyone by sharing the teaser poster of Kalank. What is common however, is the backdrop that reflects great unrest and a tense atmosphere brimming on violence. While Varun’s Zafar is battle-worn, flamboyant and aggressive, Aditya’s Dev Chaudhry is regal, compassionate, peace-loving and noble-hearted. The earlier two posters showed Varun and Aditya’s characters being very different from each other in this period drama set in the 40s.

Sanjay’s Dutt’s introduction is the third poster where the characters’ first look has been revealed.
