Alia Bhatt Calls for Gender-Neutral Storytelling in Indian Cinema

Alia Bhatt, attending the Cannes Film Festival, has voiced her opinion that Indian cinema predominantly caters to male viewers. She underscored the success of women-centric films globally, questioning the industry's focus on a presumed male majority audience. Bhatt advocates for gender-agnostic storytelling, asserting that the narrative should be the central element, regardless of the lead actor's gender. She expressed a desire for more women-led theatrical releases in the future.

Beyond her industry commentary, Bhatt has also garnered attention for her fashion at Cannes. Her upcoming role in 'Alpha,' the inaugural women-led film from Yash Raj Films' Spy Universe, alongside Bobby Deol and Sharvari Wagh, marks a significant project.
