TIL Desk Bollywood/ Her first film, “Dum Laga Ke Haisha”, contained the message that over-sized women are not at a disadvantage as long as there is love. Her second, “Toilet: Ek Prem Katha”, too has a societal message. Actress Bhumi Pednekar is more than happy about Bollywood making message-based films and says cinema is the easiest way to communicate with the people.
“I feel that today’s people, audiences and filmmakers, we all have become very aware of the problems and the situations that we have around us. Earlier, we were in a position to ignore them… but I think we have now reached a point where we cannot ignore certain things and I think it is fantastic…
“Cinema is the largest and the easiest way to communicate with the masses and if you can put it to good use, then why not,” Bhumi asked while speaking over phone from Mumbai. The 27-year-old actress says Toilet-Ek Prem Katha isn’t preachy. “It is a beautiful love story that taps into a lot of aspects of our society as well,” she added.
