A lot is being said about the upcoming Chitrangada Singh, Arjun Rampal starrer Inkaar. While many consider the film as bold, because of the concept of the film, Chitrangada doesn’t think so. According to the pretty actress, the movie is not bold at all.
The actress said: “I don’t think the subject is bold anymore. I don’t know why people want to term it as bold when a lady wants to speak out for her rights or raise voice against wrong. On the contrary, I think, it’s fair if you are standing for your rights. I am very happy to do this film.”
According to the Kaafirana item girl, Inkaar is a love story. “For me Inkaaris basically a love story with modern settings & modern problems, where men and women are almost equal. But when there is power struggle problems creep in.”
But keeping the concept in mind, Inkaar easily appears to be a dark love story or the love story that has dark shades attached to it.
She said: “No, it’s not dark. The best part about love stories is the fights that happen between the two. Because that’s the most interesting and most honest part…Holding hands and saying ‘I love you’ is something we have seen several times but that is not the case in Inkaar and that is what sets apart this film. It’s about a woman who thinks ‘fine I was involved with this particular man at some point of time but it’s not fair if you are getting sexually harassed’. And it becomes very difficult for her to take a stance and raise voice against wrong, but she does. So, it may appear dark in the sense that Inkaar shows the ugliness of a relationship.”
The film deals with sexual harassment at workplace. And since that’s the concept, the actress says that women are expected to behave like men at office. “Mostly what happens is when a woman comes to a work place she is expected to be man. I don’t get this idea why a woman should be a man or behave like one? I should be allowed to be who I am. The respect I am asking is not for being a man but for being a woman. One has to respect that.”
“When a woman is falling short a man should make it up for her and vice-versa. It should be give and take kind of relationship. The beauty about this film is there are two perspectives for the same situation and how they are both right,” she further adds.
Directed by Sudhir Mishra, Inkaar is set to release on 18th January 2013.
