<p>Movies made with a social message, with a motive to educate while entertaining the audiences tend to&nbsp;border on&nbsp;getting preachy but Bollywood’s latest, Chhatriwali, steers clear from this. Starring Rakul Preet Singh in the lead as a quality control head at a condom factory, in a role we have never seen her essay before, the film opens that much needed channel to discuss safe sex practices among men and women. Rakul Preet Singh speaks to WION about making a film on sex education, starting a dialogue on paying emphasis to one’s sexual health along mental and physical and hoping to work with Kartik Aaryan and Ranveer Singh pretty soon.&nbsp;</p>

<p><em><strong>Here are the excerpts from the exclusive chat:&nbsp;</strong></em></p>

<p><strong>WION:</strong> You are kickstarting the year 2023 with a relevant and socially important film. What will be the takeway for audiences from Chhatriwali?&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Rakul Preet Singh:</strong> I hope it becomes a conversation starter. To start with, I hope people get entertained with the film because that's our main agenda. I hope somewhere they start thinking that this is so basic and it's just made to sound like a big deal in our heads. What Padman did for a percentage of society which I feel helped&nbsp;women to go and get their sanitary napkins without wrapping them in bundles of newspaper…..I really hope that this film also becomes a conversation starter in that way. That it gives women a voice and a choice to protect themselves and their health. Strange part is a lot of women dont even know that there’s something known as protection and how it’s okay to have a voice. They are just okay with the pain that comes with it – the miscarriages, abortions, unwanted pregnancies, the number of medicines they pop, the painkillers — and they think that this is a part of who they are.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WION:</strong> Will Chhatriwali help break it down for the common man the need to practise safe sex?&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Rakul Preet Singh:</strong> The film is for a common man. Sanya is a girl from a small town, very relatable. You know, in spite of women employed in a condom factory, we still are a country where only 7 percent of the population uses protection due to which women face health issues. The film talks of the importance of sex education because if not then women are the sufferers. We never talk about how many abortions or miscarriages are okay for a human body to handle. It’s just 2. More than 2 out of 5 women have multiple miscarriages, abortions – they have at some point aborted because they were not ready and when they want to conceive there are multiple miscarriages because they have been taking contraceptives. So there is a such huge angle to sexual health which is neglected which I hope people will understand because it's equally important like your physical health. We pay so much attention to heart health and cardiovascular health, emotional health but sexual health is also a truth of our existence. We can't turn a blind eye towards it.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WION:</strong> Your character Sanya in the film plays a quality control head at a condom factory. How was the experience shooting for the film. As a layman one would assume that not a lot of women would be employed at a factory that makes condoms, purely because it's seen as taboo.&nbsp;Is that true?&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Rakul Preet Singh:</strong> We shot in Pune in a huge condom factory. That was my first introduction to seeing one and I was shocked that 70 percent of employees were women. That was an eye opener and they are making condoms like any other product. Like how it would work in any factory. It's a process. It's a product for them. There are three kinds of checks that they go through – you will see in the movie.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WION:</strong> Since we are at the topic of discussing sexual health and the need for sex education. How do you feel about the introduction of sex education in schools and at what age should we broach this topic in front of kids as a family?&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Rakul Preet Singh:</strong> It’s very important. Biologically, puberty hits by the age of 13. That means your body’s hormones change, that means your curiosity increases. There is a reason why the introduction to reproductive organs and other organs is in the 9th standard in school. You read the digestive system, you learn it but you want to skip over the reproductive organs chapter. There is a reason why it's part of the curriculum. You need to know about every part of your body as a matter of fact. It's simple science, nothing beyond that.&nbsp;</p>

<p>I feel that if you are aware, you will not make mistakes. When I was in high school, I too was one of those shy kids who would giggle during these classes. I used to think that you get pregnant after you kiss. In school there was this girl who would pop a night-after pill every time she kissed her boyfriend. She was in 11 or 12th standard and she had to be rushed for a surgery because she had 6 or 7 of them in a matter of a month. Also important is the way it's taught. As a society we need to normalise this education.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WION:</strong> Chhatriwali had a straight-to-OTT release. How do you feel about the film releasing on ZEE5 and foregoing theatres altogether?</p>

<p><strong>Rakul Preet Singh:</strong> Technology is changing, people are changing and you have to change with time. The consumption patterns are changing – from Nokia to smartphones, the internet came to our computers to our phones and we adapted. It's about adapting with changing times. We are in the transitional phase and as actors our endeavour should be that our films reach the audiences. I am very happy that it's ZEE5 because their reach within Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities is wide. This is a conversation that needs to start from there as well. Digital platforms give you the reach.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WION: </strong>What Mimi was for Kriti Sanon, will Chhatriwali be for Rakul?&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Rakul Preet Singh:</strong> I really hope so. I'll be lying if i say no but I really hope because Mimi did wonders for Kriti and she did a wonderful job. I remember messaging her after watching it because it really made me proud that another female actor is doing something so substantial. I always get inspired by my peers doing great work and Mimi was one of them. I hope that Chhatriwali also gets the love that Mimi got.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WION: </strong>What other projects can we see you feature in apart from Chhatriwali and what would be your dream cast/film for the coming year?&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Rakul Preet Singh:</strong> Oh, dreams are very huge. To begin with, I really want to do a love story. I haven't done one in my filmography, whether in the south or here. Something like a DDLJ, Aashiqui type film. As for co-star, I would love to work with Kartik Aaryan, Ranveer Singh. I’m a workaholic, I can work every day.</p>

<p>After Chhatriwali, I have two more films that will release this year. Two in Tamil including Indian 2 with Shankar sir.&nbsp;</p>


Movies made with a social message, with a motive to educate while entertaining the audiences tend to border on getting preachy but Bollywood’s latest, Chhatriwali, steers clear from this.

Movies made with a social message, with a motive to educate while entertaining the audiences tend to border on getting preachy but Bollywood’s latest, Chhatriwali, steers clear from this. Starring Rakul Preet Singh in the lead as a quality control head at a condom factory, in a role we have never seen her essay before, the film opens that much needed channel to discuss safe sex practices among men and women. Rakul Preet Singh speaks to WION about making a film on sex education, starting a dialogue on paying emphasis to one’s sexual health along mental and physical and hoping to work with Kartik Aaryan and Ranveer Singh pretty soon. Here are the excerpts from the exclusive chat: WION: You are kickstarting the year 2023 with a relevant and socially important film. What will be the takeway for audiences from Chhatriwali? Rakul Preet Singh: I hope it becomes a conversation starter. To start with, I hope people get entertained with the film because that's our main agenda. I hope somewhere they start thinking that this is so basic and it's just made to sound like a big deal in our heads. What Padman did for a percentage of society which I feel helped women to go and get their sanitary napkins without wrapping them in bundles of newspaper…..I really hope that this film also becomes a conversation starter in that way. That it gives women a voice and a choice to protect themselves and their health. Strange part is a lot of women dont even know that there’s something known as protection and how it’s okay to have a voice. They are just okay with the pain that comes with it – the miscarriages, abortions, unwanted pregnancies, the number of medicines they pop, the painkillers — and they think that this is a part of who they are. WION: Will Chhatriwali help break it down for the common man the need to practise safe sex? Rakul Preet Singh: The film is for a common man. Sanya is a girl from a small town, very relatable. You know, in spite of women employed in a condom factory, we still are a country where only 7 percent of the population uses protection due to which women face health issues. The film talks of the importance of sex education because if not then women are the sufferers. We never talk about how many abortions or miscarriages are okay for a human body to handle. It’s just 2. More than 2 out of 5 women have multiple miscarriages, abortions – they have at some point aborted because they were not ready and when they want to conceive there are multiple miscarriages because they have been taking contraceptives. So there is a such huge angle to sexual health which is neglected which I hope people will understand because it's equally important like your physical health. We pay so much attention to heart health and cardiovascular health, emotional health but sexual health is also a truth of our existence. We can't turn a blind eye towards it. WION: Your character Sanya in the film plays a quality control head at a condom factory. How was the experience shooting for the film. As a layman one would assume that not a lot of women would be employed at a factory that makes condoms, purely because it's seen as taboo. Is that true? Rakul Preet Singh: We shot in Pune in a huge condom factory. That was my first introduction to seeing one and I was shocked that 70 percent of employees were women. That was an eye opener and they are making condoms like any other product. Like how it would work in any factory. It's a process. It's a product for them. There are three kinds of checks that they go through – you will see in the movie. WION: Since we are at the topic of discussing sexual health and the need for sex education. How do you feel about the introduction of sex education in schools and at what age should we broach this topic in front of kids as a family? Rakul Preet Singh: It’s very important. Biologically, puberty hits by the age of 13. That means your body’s hormones change, that means your curiosity increases. There is a reason why the introduction to reproductive organs and other organs is in the 9th standard in school. You read the digestive system, you learn it but you want to skip over the reproductive organs chapter. There is a reason why it's part of the curriculum.

When I was in high school, I too was one of those shy kids who would giggle during these classes. I used to think that you get pregnant after you kiss. In school there was this girl who would pop a night-after pill every time she kissed her boyfriend. She was in 11 or 12th standard and she had to be rushed for a surgery because she had 6 or 7 of them in a matter of a month. Also important is the way it's taught. As a society we need to normalise this education. WION: Chhatriwali had a straight-to-OTT release. How do you feel about the film releasing on ZEE5 and foregoing theatres altogether? Rakul Preet Singh: Technology is changing, people are changing and you have to change with time. The consumption patterns are changing – from Nokia to smartphones, the internet came to our computers to our phones and we adapted. It's about adapting with changing times. We are in the transitional phase and as actors our endeavour should be that our films reach the audiences. I am very happy that it's ZEE5 because their reach within Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities is wide.

As for co-star, I would love to work with Kartik Aaryan, Ranveer Singh. I’m a workaholic, I can work every day. After Chhatriwali, I have two more films that will release this year. Two in Tamil including Indian 2 with Shankar sir.

<p>Kevin Spacey got to speak publicly for the first time in five years after he was boycotted by the industry ever since being accused of sexual misconduct. It was in 2017 that these allegations surfaced, and since then he was removed from several projects that he was a part of.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This week, Italy’s National Cinema Museum in the northern Italian city of Turin honoured the Oscar-winning actor with a lifetime achievement award and a masterclass. The event obviously raised objections in the US and the UK where the actor will go on trial in June on 12 sexual assault charges, to which he has pleaded not guilty.</p>

<p>To everyone’s surprise, fans reached the venue in Italy and cheered for Kevin Spacey. The awards ceremony was followed by a screening of the actor’s 'American Beauty' which was a sold out.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Earlier this week, Spacey was feted at a Torino football match.</p>

<p>Speaking to media regarding the felicitation, the museum director Domenico De Gaetano said the institution extended its invitation to Spacey after the actor was cleared last October by a New York jury in a $40M battery lawsuit brought by actor Anthony Rapp.</p>

<p>“Kevin Spacey came to Turin last year to shoot a movie (Franco Nero’s The Man Who Drew God). He is a very kind person and more importantly, he is a fantastic actor. In Italy, we believe in the principle of the presumption of innocence. When the trial ended in New York and he was cleared, even if there were potentially other trials down the line, he was innocent.</p>

<p>"When the idea was floated of inviting him, I thought, ‘Why not?’ I was sure he would give a good masterclass. I knew there might be some pushback and controversy, but this didn’t concern me. I was interested in cinema and Spacey as an actor. His personal life, especially given the fact he had just been absolved, was not of interest to us,” he said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“I think there is a different attitude in Europe from the U.S. You can’t just cancel a person or tar everyone with the same brush,” said De Gaetano.</p>

<p>The museum is housed in the vast atrium of Turin’s architectural landmark the Mole Antonelliana, where Kevin Spacey gave his masterclass.</p>

<p>Rami Malek has been roped for a limited series on the life of Buster Keaton. The series is currently being developed by Warner Bros. Television. The Oscar winner will play the silent comedy movie star in the show with Matt Reeves set to helm the project.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Since it's still in the first phase of development, there are talks that Ted Cohen will write and serve as an executive producer on the project. It will be produced by Matt Reeves’ 6th &amp; Idaho Productions, Rami Malek and David Weddle. As for inspiration, the limited series will be based on James Curtis’ book Buster Keaton: A Filmmaker’s Life.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Buster Keaton worked in films such as The Playhouse, Cops, The Electric House, Sherlock Jr and The General among several others. He was known for his deadpan expressions in the films. Born into a vaudeville family, the actor’s career took a slump after he tied with MGM and lost his artistic independence. His personal relationship also took an ugly turn as he became divorced and became an alcoholic. His career picked up in the 1940s and earned an Academy Honorary Award in 1959.</p>

<p>Filmmakers including Mel Brooks, Martin Scorsese and Orson Welles were inspired by Buster Keaton, seeing him as an artist who was ahead of his time.</p>

<p>Rami Malek was last seen in James Bond film, No Time To Die opposite Daniel Craig. He won an Oscar Best Actor for his role as&nbsp;Queen frontman Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody.</p>

<p>For Dia Mirza, her work as an actor, producer, eco-entrepreneur and the UN Secretary General's Advocate for Sustainable Development Goals, coalesces around the passion to serve a higher purpose and somehow impact the world in a positive way. She says, "As a mother, I feel compelled more than ever to amplify urgent environmental causes like climate change because the clock is ticking and unless we work hard collectively to reverse its impact, we will pass on to our children an unsustainable and unhealthy planet."</p>

<p>Dia cites the Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, which was a collective commitment to improve health and education markers, reduce inequality, spur economic growth, protect and preserve oceans and forests while countering climate change and says, " Every year, we must do all we can to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). " In 2023 too, she says, her work at the individual and collective level will serve the larger vision of the SDGs.</p>

<p>"Because of COVID-19 and the debilitating after-effects of climate change, the SDGs have suffered many setbacks globally. &nbsp;We need to double up efforts to change that and especially work towards providing inclusive and accessible education to the girl child. In 2023, I am also hoping to put the spotlight on numerous environment champions across India and its heartlands. People like Dr Anil Prakash Joshi from Dehradun with his innovative concept of GEP (Gross Environmental Product) which assesses monetary value of the quality and quantity of resources from the forest, air, water and soil and is one of the components of green GDP," she adds.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
As an eco-investor, Dia has already committed resources and energy to green brands like Beco, Shumee, Greendigo, and Allter and will also be on the lookout for more individuals and companies that are creating sustainable solutions and need a little help. She says, "We need to start looking at a more sustainable lifestyle as the norm and not the exception anymore. And to do that, more such green brands need to come into the mainstream. As an investor, my goal is to work towards that ideal."<br />
&nbsp;<br />
As a producer and an actor, Dia says, her work will continue to address questions about gender, social and economic inequities, the right to education, to a healthy environment and a lot more. She concludes, "There is a thread of intentionality in everything I do so now I want to tell stories that can be powerful agents of change at some level and can generate ripples of positivity and inspire a sense of purpose in those who watch them."</p>

<p>Pop star Shakira is just about any of us! In a bizarre update from her ex Gerard Pique’s cheating scandal, it’s been found out the singer (among other things) realised he was cheating on her after she found her jam jar empty. Apparently, her ex doesn’t eat strawberry jam. Shakira told news outlets that she was away from home as she was touring but when she came back, she found out that someone had visited her home behind her back and eaten her jam since her former partner doesn’t eat jam.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Shakira made a reference of this episode in her recently released song with Rauw Alejandro ‘Tu Felicito’ where she opens a fridge and finds Alejandro’s head on a plate.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Shakira was also in the news recently for her and Gerard Pique’s breakup song, that some also call the diss song, that goes like "You left me as a neighbor to the mother-in-law / With the press at the door and the debt at the IRS / You thought you'd hurt me, but you made me tougher / Women don't cry anymore, women invoice."</p>

<p>The <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/shakira-takes-a-dig-at-cheating-ex-gerard-pique-you-swapped-rolex-for-a-casio-552434">lyrics of the song have gone viral </a>and have also become a hit on YouTube having broken many records since its release. The song lyrics go like:</p>

<p>"No hard feelings, baby, I wish you the best with my supposed replacement<br />
I don't even know what happened to you<br />
You're so weird that I can't even tell you apart<br />
I'm worth two 22's<br />
You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo<br />
You traded a Rolex for a Casio"</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Gerard has seemingly responded to the song by driving a Twingo, and wearing a Casio.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Shaitan actor Gulshan Devaiah feels that the Hindi film industry is “more democratic” in comparison to the South Indian film industry. He said that all actors of the South come from film families whereas Bollywood is more open to outsiders.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Gulshan said that nepotism is far more prevalent in the South industry and that it cannot be a factor in measuring the merit of movies. “If you look at the industry in the South, it is making so many waves. You can name all the actors who are really popular and all of them come from families. Everybody has their third and fourth generation working. But the Hindi film industry is far more democratic people like me, Vijay Varma, Soham (Shah), Mrunal Thakur, we are all working and doing well and making a living out of this,” Gulshan said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The actor added that it is “just human nature to blame everything for your misfortune” and that it was a “really stupid argument that talented people should get the job” as a business enterprise has to take into account many other factors before they finalise an actor.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Gulshan Devaiah also spoke about the nature of this business and said there are “power structures and they have power and they do whatever they want but it’s really not some battle or it’s not like all darkness.”</p>

But the Hindi film industry is far more democratic people like me, Vijay Varma, Soham (Shah), Mrunal Thakur, we are all working and doing well and making a living out of this,” Gulshan said. The actor added that it is “just human nature to blame everything for your misfortune” and that it was a “really stupid argument that talented people should get the job” as a business enterprise has to take into account many other factors before they finalise an actor. Gulshan Devaiah also spoke about the nature of this business and said there are “power structures and they have power and they do whatever they want but it’s really not some battle or it’s not like all darkness.”

Bollywood 'far more democratic' than the South industry: Gulshan Devaiah

<p>Looks like we can get Tollywood and Hollywood together as SS Rajamouli is seriously considering a film with the latter film industry. With his latest film RRR making waves at the world box office and also picking up some awards at some of the most prestigious global awards like Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards to name a few – he is keen on doing a film that will truly bridge the gap between the West and India. After the Golden Globes win last week, Rajamouli met up with ace filmmakers like Steven Spielberg and James Cameron. Both directors went on to praise the RRR team on their film.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking about the priceless reaction to his film and what he discussed with Spielberg and Cameron, Rajamouli shared that this is exactly why he makes films, that is, to bring joy in people’s lives. On whether he would ever collaborate with a filmmaker in Hollywood, he said, "I think it is the dream of every filmmaker across the world to make a film in Hollywood. I am no different. I'm open to experimentation."&nbsp;</p>
