Bollywood actor and filmmaker Ajay Devgn has said his upcoming production, “Parched” is not just about women, but also about the issues that society faces at large and this film is not about women only, but also about the men, where both are victims. It is the societal pressure which forces men to do things apart from the mind set and so, this film talks about tackling both the issues.
“Parched”, is directed by Leena Yadav, highlights issues like dowry system, physical violence, forced marriages, rape and mental cruelty against women and as a producer, when making a film like this, you should be prepared for implications, where the reality is shown, but sometimes the CFBC are also correct.
Ajay has added that beyond a limit, one can't exhibit anything for the sake of reality and therefore, he thinks makers should know their boundaries as what to show and what not to and in this film, they didn't face any trouble and the film deserves an adult certification and they have got that.
He has also said films like “Parched” don't get that much admiration if they are only released in theatre and film festivals are important to promote and earn appreciation and the film has been well received at film festivals held in Melbourne and Toronto, and Ajay feels that film festivals are important.
