‘Simran’ actress Kangana Ranaut has always been outspoken about pay disparity in Bollywood. She was recently featured in an AIB video that highlighted many admissible things that especially actresses have to go through in Bollywood. The video took dig at the pay disparity amongst male and female actors in the film industry.
The actress has started her preparations for ‘Teju’, a film that will feature her debut as a director. Kangana who is regarded as a voice of undiluted truth, has a powerful point of view this time around too. Kangana said that she will charge for acting, directing and even share profits as a producer for her directorial debut.
The actress said to a leading magazine, “I will be sharing the profits. I’ll be charging as an actor, as a director and will be sharing profits as the producer.”
Kangana Ranaut informed a leading portal about her directorial debut. She said, “It is a children’s film, and I have a lot of ideas and excitement for it. But it will be a difficult project to pull off, and I am looking forward to it. It will be a light-hearted film; I can’t call it comedy, but most definitely a nice film. This is what I wanted to do.”
Kangana would be playing an 80-year-old grandmother in ‘Teju’ and will undergo an extensive makeover. The movie will be filmed in Kangana’s home state Himachal Pradesh and it is expected to release late 2018.
