Indian cinema is still male dominated, says Andrea Jeremiah

Andrea Jeremiah shared in a recent interaction that the film industry is a powerful male bastion where women never get their due. Speaking on the occasion of Women’s Day, she shared that women are much stereotyped and objectified in Indian cinema.

“Even a Deepika Padukone had to do a film with Shah Rukh Khan and Ranbir Kapoor to become a Deepika Padukone. A Nayanthara has to do films with Vijay, Ajith, Suriya, Rajinikanth and then she becomes Nayanthara. Why can’t an Andrea just do good strong roles and become an Andrea? Why does the worth of an actress have to be determined by her co-stars”, the actress was quoted as saying.

She added that she hasn’t signed for any movie after the release of the critically acclaimed Taramani. The actress was recently seen playing a memorable role in suspense-horror flick, ‘Gruham’ opposite Siddharth.
