Insecure Co-stars Damaged My Confidence, Says Keerthy Suresh
26 Oct
Summary
- Ambitious women can intimidate co-stars, affecting their own confidence.
- Radhika Apte notes varying male responses to confident women.
- Women-led gangster films are rare due to traditional storytelling.
Keerthy Suresh has spoken out about experiencing insecurity from male co-stars in the entertainment industry, which impacted her self-assurance. She described instances where colleagues' discomfort with ambitious women led her to doubt herself, only realizing later that their insecurity was the cause.
Radhika Apte offered a balanced perspective on gender dynamics, acknowledging that while some men are intimidated by confident women, many others work collaboratively. Apte also highlighted that female solidarity isn't always present, but noted an overall increase in workplace equality over time.
The conversation extended to the scarcity of women-led gangster films. Apte suggested this stems from historical narratives focusing on male criminals, while Suresh believes directors' reservations also play a role. Both feel that strong content can overcome these perceptions.
'Akka,' starring Suresh and Apte, is set to release on October 30 and features women establishing power within a gang, exploring themes of ambition and loyalty.
