As
actor
Arjun
Kapoor
gears
up
for
the
release
of
his
upcoming
film
Dhaakad,
he
opens
up
about
why
he
said
yes
to
a
female-oriented
film,
which
is
often
rejected
by
male
actors.
While
speaking
to
News18,
he
said,
"I
felt
that
this
film
is
going
to
be
a
clutter
breaker.
A
female
star
is
never
given
this
kind
of
opportunity.
We
have
seen
men
do
action
all
the
time.
But
have
we
ever
seen
a
woman
do
it?
Yes,
female
actors
have
done
action
in
the
past
but
not
on
this
scale."
He
further
said
that
he
felt
it
was
his
duty
in
a
way
to
support
women-oriented
films,
and
he
completely
did
it
from
his
heart.
He
went
on
to
add
that
as
a
male
actor
and
father
to
two
daughters
(Mahikaa
and
Myra),
he
wants
to
make
this
industry
more
conducive
to
women.
He
further
said
that
he
would
love
it
if
male
actors
support
his
daughters
if
and
when
they
decide
to
be
in
the
movies.
"I
can't
talk
about
others
but
my
main
strength
has
always
been
my
mother
(Gwen).
I
have
always
loved
my
father
but
it
was
my
mother
who
made
a
lot
of
sacrifices
for
me
and
my
sister.
If
it
wasn't
for
her,
I
wouldn't
be
where
I
am
today.
Subconsciously,
this
has
always
stayed
with
me," added
Rampal
while
singing
praises
of
his
mother.
He
recalled
doing
several
women-oriented
films
like
Dil
Hai
Tumhara,
Tehzeeb,
etc.,
because
he
has
seen
the
period
in
Bollywood
when
women
didn't
have
a
voice.
"I
have
a
responsibility
to
back
movies
like
Dhaakad,"
concluded
Rampal.
Directed
by
Razneesh
Ghai,
the
film
also
stars
Divya
Dutta
in
key
role
and
is
slated
to
hit
the
theatres
on
May
20,
2022.
