Parvathy Stands Firm on 'Kasaba' Critique After Years
1 Sep
Summary
- Actress reiterates stance on 'Kasaba' misogyny critique.
- Controversy revealed people and situations, she claims.
- Women's Commission had already acted against the film.
Actress Parvathy Thiruvothu has recently reiterated her firm stance regarding her past comments on the 2016 Mammootty-starrer 'Kasaba'. During a recent interview, she clarified that she does not consider the controversy surrounding her critique of the film's misogynistic content to be a genuine loss to her career. Instead, she views it as an event that revealed certain individuals and situations, stating that her perspective remains unchanged.
Thiruvothu emphasized that her remarks about 'Kasaba' were not the origin of the controversy. She pointed out that the Kerala Women's Commission had already taken suo motu action against the film in July 2016 due to scenes and dialogues allegedly portraying women negatively. Her own comments were made several months later at an open forum during the International Film Festival of Kerala in December 2016.
Furthermore, Parvathy Thiruvothu clarified that her association with filmmaker Geetu Mohandas during the IFFK discussion does not imply that Mohandas endorses her views or that Mohandas's films should follow a similar thematic system. Thiruvothu defended Mohandas's creative freedom, cautioning against the patriarchal notion that women are each other's worst enemies. Meanwhile, Mohandas's recent film 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups' has seen a decline in domestic earnings.
