Women Director Should be free: Nandhini
Ruing
that women filmmakers are often asked by producers to play it safe, Tamil
filmmaker JS Nandhiniavers that
they should have the freedom to make their kind of cinema.
“Women are always expected to make soft, light-hearted films.
Even when a woman filmmaker approaches a producer with a film in the thriller
or horror genre, she is most likely asked to change it. I had a script to make
a complicated thriller as my debut film, but I obliged people by making a cute
and sweet film,” Nandhini told IANS.
Her
directorial debut was Tamil romantic-comedyThiru Thiru Thuru Thuru, but her
second film is a murder mystery.
“I’m busy with my second film, which is a murder-mystery.I’m
glad that my producer believed in my script and didn’t ask me to make any
changes it. We need more producers who can appreciate a story irrespective of
who makes it,” she said.
“I’m glad Bollywood has already accepted women filmmakers with
arms wide open. I wish Tamil film industry follows suit soon,” she added.
Nandhini’s
second film is titled Kolai Nokku Paarvai,
featuring Karthik Kumar and Rupa Manjari in the lead roles. The film is being
produced by Ravindar Chandrasekhar of Libra Productions.
