Bollywood
actor
Ajay
Devgn
says
his
upcoming
production
venture
Parched
is
a
relevant
film,
which
should
be
seen
by
men
to
learn
how
to
treat
women
in
society.
Directed
by
Leena
Yadav,
Parched
stars
Radhika
Apte,
Tannishtha
Chatterjee
and
Surveen
Chawla
in
lead
roles.
"This
film
is
not
just
about
women...
It
is
also
about
men
to
learn.
It's
society
pressure,
I
would
say,
which
forces
men
to
do
the
things
they
do,
apart
from
the
mindset."
"From
the
film,
there
is
nothing
much
that
women
need
to
learn
about
what
is
happening
with
them.
I
feel
men
need
to
learn
what
women
are,
and
how
to
behave
with
them," the
actor
told
reporters
at
the
trailer
launch.
Parched
traces
the
bittersweet
tale
of
four
ordinary
women
who
struggle
with
their
individual
boundaries
to
face
their
demons
and
stage
their
own
personal
wars.
The
movie
has
ready
travelled
to
several
film
festivals
aboard
and
won
a
lot
of
acclaim
as
well
as
top
honours.
The
47-year-old
Singham
actor
said
it
is
sad
they
couldn't
start
the
film's
journey
by
first
releasing
it
in
India
but
hopes
it
gets
the
same
reception
here
a
it
got
in
the
West.
"It
is
very
sad,
because
though
the
issue
is
universal,
the
film
is
of
our
country.
It
is
very
sad
that
instead
of
starting
with
India,
we
had
to
start
from
abroad,
because
there
is
audience
there
which
accepts
such
films.
"
"From
there,
the
film
has
travelled
and
reached
here.
We
hope
the
film
is
accepted
here
too.
The
myth
that
only
typical
commercial
films
work,
that
needs
to
be
broken
by
the
audience," he
added.
Parched
is
scheduled
to
release
on
September
23.
