Many
movies
are
addressing
the
issue
of
violence
against
women
and
Aditi
Rao
Hydari
believes
it
is
better
to
make
such
films
than
just

love
story.
There
is
a
spate
of
movies
in
Bollywood
that
are
addressing
the
issue
of
violence
against
women
and
actor
Aditi
Rao
Hydari
believes
it
is
better
to
make
such
films
than
just
another
run-of-the-mill
love
story.
Raveena
Tandon's
Maatr
and
Sridevi's
Mom
saw
the
mothers
turning
into
avenging
angels
and
now
"Bhoomi" will
see
a
father,
played
by
Sanjay
Dutt,
fight
for
his
daughter
(Aditi).
The
30-year-old
actor
who
features
in
the
titular
role
of
Bhoomi
in
the
Omung
Kumar-directed
film
says
these
movies
are
a
reflection
of
what
is
happening
in
the
society.
In
an
interview
with
PTI,
the
actor
says,
"So
many
cases
of
violence
against
women
continue
to
take
place,
why
aren't
we
asking
this
question
to
the
system?
There
are
certain
things
that
are
constantly
seen
in
our
society
-
be
it
honour
killings,
rape
or
any
kind
of
sexual
assault.
Or
whether
it's
people
being
silenced
for
having
a
voice
of
dissent.
"It's
either
simple
love
stories
or
humorous
ones.
Isn't
that
repetitive?
It
has
been
done
so
many
times.
Every
kind
of
violence
is
different,
every
parent-child
relationship
is
different.
I'm
sure
'Mom' was
different.
But
these
stories
were
not
able
to
reach
out
to
the
audiences.
I
really
hope
'Bhoomi'
does."
Aditi
says
her
upcoming
film
is
about
a
lower
middle
class
family
and
how
the
father
stands
up
for
his
daughter.
"Here
you
see
a
father
believing
in
his
daughter
and
that
comes
out
of
love.
It
is
often
shown
that
a
daughter
always
stands
up
for
her
family.
But
I
don't
know
how
many
times
the
parents
stand
up
for
the
daughter."
Calling
Bhoomi
a
woman
of
internal
strength,
the
actor
says
she
is
glad
the
film
is
based
in
Agra
as
there
is
a
tendency
to
get
their
daughters
married
as
soon
as
possible
in
smaller
towns.
"With
us
city
girls,
there
is
an
assumption
that
we
have
the
space
to
raise
our
voice.
Most
of
the
parents
in
India,
especially
in
smaller
towns,
fear
for
daughters
due
to
the
inhuman
treatment
meted
out
to
them.
They
want
her
to
go
away,
saying,
'you're
not
my
responsibility
anymore'.
I
don't
understand
why
don't
we
nurture
our
girls?"
Bhoomi
is
Sanjay's
comeback
vehicle,
so
will
the
audiences
get
to
see
enough
of
Aditi's
performance?
The
actor
says,
"It's
Sanju
Sir's
comeback
film,
yes.
He's
an
experienced,
loved
and
established
actor.
For
example,
the
first
shot
in
any
traditional
movie
set-up
would
have
been
his.
"But
here,
I
don't
know
whether
they
thought
about
it
or
it
just
happened
that
the
first
shot
in
the
film
is
a
scene
where
Bhoomi
is
dyeing
her
father's
hair.
That's
a
rare
thing
to
happen."
The
film
is
slated
to
hit
the
screens
this
Friday.
