&quot;There are enough tales told with male characters. I genuinely feel that a lot of the attributes regarding women have never been portrayed well in cinema. So many roles have been written for men. But when it comes to women its a sheer numbers game.u00a0 <img alt="Nagesh Kukunoor" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/jan/nagesh.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 428px;" /> I think it&#39;s virgin territory as there is a lot stuff that could still be told,&quot; Kukunoor told PTI. The director has given some memorable female characters to cinema in his critically acclaimed films like &quot;Dor&quot;, &quot;Iqbal&quot;, &quot;Hyderabad Blues&quot; and &quot;Rockford&quot;. Kukunoor believes his new film &quot;Laxmi&quot; is hard-hitting as it revolves around the life of a child prostitute. The cast of film includes Shefali Shah and Ram Kapoor with other new faces. The director has not fixed a date for its release yet. He is currently submitting the film to various film festivals. He is also exploring the idea of making a road movie. &quot;Its been something that I have been wanting to do for long time. I have made films in every single genre. Road journey is one such genre that I want to explore and truthfully road movies haven&#39;t been explored a lot in India which leaves it wide open to do a whole bunch of them,&quot; Kukunoor said. He has only worked with two Bollywood stars, Akshay Kumar and John Abraham in his 15-year-long film-making career. When asked about his reluctance to work with stars, Kukunoor said, &quot;If the script is large in scope and requires a lot of money then you have to get a big name to justify that, if its not then you can do without them.&quot; The director prefers to call all his movies real-fiction -- where the settings are real but the stories are fictionalised -- believes that he has a had a fair share of telling both &#39;rural&#39; and &#39;urban&#39; stories on the celluloid. On his future plans, Kukunoor said, &quot;I have always said that I will make a film in every genre. There is a big action film left. &#39;Tasveer&#39; had a little bit of action, a horror film a road movie are also left.&quot;u00a0

Nagesh Kukunoor, whose upcoming film "Laxmi" is on the issue of child prostitution, says he will continue making women-centric films as there are enough filmmakers in Bollywood focussing on male protagonists
