Who are the girls playing footballers in Vijay's 'Bigil'?
The HinduNovember 02, 2019 03:50 pm | Updated November 28, 2021 11:18 am IST Love it or hate it, but you certainly can’t ignore the Bigil phenomenon. The hotly-debated film may continue to rake in record-breaking box-office figures, director Atlee could step into Bollywood, and Vijay’s already moved on to his next Thalapathy 64 shoot. A mix of up-and-coming actors and professional sportswomen, the ‘Singappengal’ of the film are delighted with its success and the fleeting but fascinating fame surrounding them, working alongside a A-lister like Vijay. Despite it being a ‘mass’ commercial film, I do think the empowerment angle Atlee sir explored in the script was strong — and I’d anyday choose a film like Bigil over the usual ‘heroine’ roles written for women in cinema — I definitely feel lucky to enter the industry this way. I know there’s been a lot of talk about how much the film does for women empowerment and so on, and if the girls’ arcs were given enough time.
