I'll never make a film where the woman is used as a wallflower," says Tanuja Chandra, ahead of the release of her upcoming romance-drama, Qarib Qarib Singlle. The filmmaker points out that a change in society for the benefit of women can be brought about if the portrayal of men in cinema is amended. "The male character in my film, played by Irrfan, is appreciative of independent women. I have interacted with a few amazing men. It is necessary that their personalities be showcased on the big screens. My leading man is happy to be involved with a woman who is a feminist. And that's essential. Let's have more men say, 'How wonderful, you are a self-made woman'," Chandra tells mid-day.
