Regina Cassandra: Speak Out or Walk Away!
5 Nov
Summary
- Actors uncomfortable with roles should refuse projects.
- Cassandra criticizes North-South cinema divide.
- Dharma Productions allegedly ignored her in 'Kesari 2'.
Actress Regina Cassandra has articulated a strong stance on creative control and industry dynamics, asserting that performers uncomfortable with their characters' portrayals should exercise their option to withdraw from projects.
Cassandra's perspective, shared recently, addresses concerns about the objectification of female characters in cinema. She believes established actors possess the leverage to decline roles that do not align with their comfort or principles. This viewpoint aims to empower artists, particularly women, to navigate their careers proactively.
Furthermore, Cassandra expressed dismay over what she perceives as an increasing division between the North and South Indian film industries. She warned that critical remarks can inadvertently widen this gap, hindering industry collaboration. Her own experience with Dharma Productions, where she alleged a lack of promotion for her role in 'Kesari 2' despite featuring prominently in a song, fuels her critique of industry practices.
