Shriya Saran: We need more women behind the camera for better-written women characters
The HinduWith RRR’s ‘Naatu Naatu’ bagging an Oscar and the entire cast and crew rejoicing in its victory, one of its actors is already gearing up for her next pan-Indian outing. Ask her about being a part of a slew of such big-budget films and an excited Shriya says, “It feels great because that’s the need of the hour. We’re also a country where our currency is printed with 17 languages on them, so our cinema too should be celebrated as one.” Languages are no more a barrier, quips Shriya. He had a small teaser with Upendra sir who is someone I always wanted to work with and that was good enough to be sold,” says Shriya who plays a strong woman with a ‘lot of heart’. The character grows, evolves and matures, which is very interesting for an actor because it gives you a lot more to work on.” As an actor who has worked in all South Indian languages as well as in Hindi and English, Shriya believes that languages aren’t a barrier anymore.
