Going to 'make sure' men, women get paid equally in Bollywood: Kangana
Kolkata, May 7
National Award winning actress
Kangana Ranaut on Thursday said she will "make sure" someday the divide
between men and women in Bollywood in terms of paychecks is bridged.
"Few
people are trying, like me. It is still a very, very male-dominated
industry and yes hopefully, at some point, it will be equal and I am
going to make sure that happens," she told the media here in response to
a poser on her stance on the issue.
The actress was in the city
to promote "Tanu Weds Manu Returns", which releases on May 22. The film
is a sequel to the 2011 romantic comedy "Tanu Weds Manu".
"This
is a love story on contemporary marriage. I don't think such stories are
made. The humour in the movie is Asubtle and relatable," she said.
Kangana
made her Bollywood debut with 2006 release hit "Gangster" and since
then she has carved a special place by delivering exceptional
performances in films like "Fashion" and "Queen".
In "Tanu Weds
Manu Returns", she will be seen in a double role of Tanu and Kusum.
Kusum is a tomboy of sorts and for the character, the actress had to go
rustic and speak Haryanvi.
Kangana said shooting for the sequel was "stressful" due to the challenge of the double role.
Directed
by Anand L. Rai, the film also features R. Madhavan, Deepak Dobriyal,
Jimmy Shergill, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub and Dhanush.
