Filmmaker Meghna Gulzar on Tuesday requested the audience to not slot her films, including her latest Chhapaak, as women-oriented stories. Director of films like Talvar and Raazi, Meghna said she chooses a story that connects with her and the character's gender has no role in it.

"I have a request that do not categorise 'Chhapaak' as women-centric film. My stories do have stronger female characters, unlike our conventional films.
