Veteran
actor
Naseeruddin
Shah,
who
will
be
seen
playing
the
lead
in
the
thriller
Irada,
which
talks
about
a
social
issue,
says
through
every
art
form,
people
attempt
to
raise
pertinent
questions
in
the
society.
"To
raise
a
question
is
the
focus
of
any
form
of
art.
The
film
is
about
how
the
drinkable
water
has
become
poisonous
in
Punjab.
The
film
is
a
medium
which
raises
serious
issues
in
an
entertaining
way.
We
have
tried
to
do
that," Naseeruddin
told
IANS.
Irada,
directed
by
debutante
Aparna
Singh,
features
Naseeruddin
as
an
ex-Army
man
who
seeks
revenge
for
his
deceased
daughter,
while
Arshad
Warsi
plays
an
officer.
Naseeruddin
said
working
with
first-time
directors
was
not
a
problem
for
him.

"Half
of
the
films
which
I've
worked
with
were
with
first-time
directors
and
I
never
felt
any
disappointment.
However,
I
regret
some
of
the
films
which
I
did
with
some
veterans,"
he
said.
Talking
of
the
advantage
of
working
with
new
directors,
the
actor
said:
"They
have
a
fire
in
their
belly.
They
want
to
prove
themselves
in
their
work.
There
are
many
directors
whose
first
films
were
their
best
work."
Asked
how
much
today's
audience
has
changed,
Naseeruddin
said:
"Nothing
much...
They
still
like
films
which
are
value
for
money
and
that
is
quite
understandable.
I
think
tastes
have
not
changed
much.
There
are
experimental
films
in
Marathi
and
in
Hindi
as
well.
But
ratio-wise,
it
is
still
the
same
since
when
I
came
to
this
Industry."
Also
starring
Divya
Dutta,
Sagarika
Ghatge
and
Sharad
Kelkar,
Irada
is
releasing
on
February
