00:00Now we come to a game called Hot Takes Only.
00:02I want to know your own authentic hot take on statements that I'm going to say.
00:07OTT versus theatrical release, what actually matters in 2025?
00:12Theatrical release, 100%.
00:14OTT is great, it gives you credibility but if you want the big ticket, big prize,
00:18the real, you know, kit and caboodle as they say, theatrical.
00:21Award shows, validation or vanity?
00:24Vanity, 100%.
00:26PR driven film reviews, should we really trust the stars?
00:29No, you shouldn't. You should go watch the film yourself and make your own opinion.
00:33Today you don't know who the big guy or who the big guy, you can't understand.
00:36I don't know myself.
00:37Playing queer characters, is it representation or is it tokenism?
00:43Oh, interesting. I hope it's representation.
00:46In fact, in whatever work I've tried to do, I've been very conscious to not stereotype it
00:50and to not make it caricature-ish.
00:52Because I never wanted that segment of society to feel like,
00:55this is our advantage.
00:57Is Bollywood still scared of strong women leads?
01:00I don't know. I mean, they have reduced of late.
01:03You know, you don't see a lot of strong female-led films anymore.
01:06Madhur Bandarikav was very famous, heroine.
01:09Yeah, Vidya Balan's three-sharese film movie.
01:11Khaani and all that.
01:12Kamara Ranao's three-sharese film movie.
01:13Chalili Queen.
01:14Yes, very good for you.
01:16Vidya Balan's Khaani and that other one, that Dirty Picture.
01:21Dirty Picture.
01:22Which made tons of money, right?
01:24Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:24But then you haven't seen it of late.
