There is often a discussion about whether good roles for actresses are being written better on digital or in films released in theaters. Actress Bhumi Pednekar believes that the roles that were being written for actresses for films before the Corona period were quite powerful. She says that if I look at my filmography, all the roles I have played were of different kinds. Those roles had power, but the films that are coming now do not have that power or have very little. Even in the films released on digital, the female characters do not have that thing. However, the roles that are being written for women in web series are better. In such a situation, there is a competition whether to release films on digital platforms or in theaters.
In this competition, the roles that are being written for actresses are heart-breaking. However, this thinking of mine is only for cinema. The opportunities that are being found in web series are better than films. The work I have done in Netflix’s web series The Royals is something I have never done before. I enjoyed playing that role. Maybe this time will change in the future. Women-oriented films can also earn money in theatres. The film Crew released this year is the biggest example of this. In today’s time, being an actor is very expensive. One has to spend a lot on oneself. Not everyone has the luxury to choose what they want to do.
