We
Are
Clear
About
The
Attitude
To
Women
"At
a
level
when
I'm
making
films
or
working
in
films,
we
are
very
clear
about
the
attitude
to
women.
Even
the
smallest
aspects,
of
the
names
coming
first
in
title,
which
is
not
going
to
do
anything,
but
the
kind
of
respectability.''
Even
This
Small
Thing
Is
Needed
To
Bring
Equality
"Even
this
small
thing
needs
to
be
done
just
to
bring
about
the
equality...
Just
see
what
we've
reduced
ourselves
to.
You
know,
to
put
a
girl's
name
in
front
just
to
show
what
little
guys
we
are,
thinking
of
them
as
equals.
And
that
is
sad
and
that
is
strangely
dichotomous
when
you're
talking
about
creativity,
and
you
have
boys
and
girls
working
together.''
Nobody
Dared
Misbehave
With
A
Women
On
My
Set
"I
have
never
personally,
first
hand
and
nobody,
if
I
may
say,
nobody
dared
misbehave
with
a
woman
on
my
set,
I
am
very
clear
on
that.''
The
Actor
Also
Talked
About
Inter-Communal
Tensions
"There
will
be
dissent
for
everything
and
I
think,
like
you
would
also
believe
and
we
all
believe,
there
has
to
be
a
discussion
on
it."
We
Are
The
Biggest
Democracy
"I
think
you
can
have
a
discussion
and
then
you
can
talk
about
it
in
our
country
-
we
are
the
biggest
democracy
-
and
if
you
are
the
biggest
democracy,
dissent
is
a
part
and
parcel
of
that
and
as
much
is
discussion.''
Can
We
Just
Have
A
Little
Bit
Of
Discussion?
"So,
when
you
have
a
story
and
you
know
when
you
go
out
sometimes,
there's
dissent,
but
as
a
filmmaker,
as
a
citizen
of
a
country
and
the
world,
you
know
when
there's
dissent,
can
we
just
have
a
little
bit
of
discussion
about
it
and
sort
it
out
instead
of
you
know
taking
standoff
positions...
So
it
is
possible.''
Because
Of
The
Social
Media...
When
questioned
if
there
is
a
kind
of
Hindu
nationalism
that
is
not
fostering
good
inter-communal
ties,
he
said,
"Because
of
social
media,
whenever
a
certain
thing,
when
small
factions
or
fractions
of
things
happen
now,
they
seem
a
little
bigger.
But
the
beauty
of
all
this
is
that
within
all
this
trolling
and
anger
and
people
expressing
themselves,
they're
all
also
connecting.''
