Director Lakshmy Ramakrishnan, well known for having been a host of the show Solvathellam Unmai, recently opened up about gender disparity, bullying, harassment and sexism in the industry. In an interview, Lakshmy questions if there is even any real change in the industry today. Especially after young actors speaking against sexism, films with lead female actors being written about by critics. She feels not much has changed and said, “I refuse to believe that a film sells because of its hero. In recent times especially, I’ve seen a lot of actors speak out against sexism, and reviewers write about underwritten female roles. But has there been any real change in the number of strong female roles? Perhaps that has something to do with how few female directors there are,” and added, “For instance, When you hear a ‘Sanjay Ramaswamy’, you think of Suriya in Ghajini (2005). Can you think of a fictional female character’s name that’s as evocative? Women are still subjugated, they’re still not respected, and worse, they’re abused in the film industry.”
