With just a few hours left for the release of one of the biggest films of this season-'Veere Di Wedding'- actresses Kareena Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhasker and Shikha Talsania seem to be at ease and quite assured with their film.&nbsp; 
 
While many would have liked to term the female-buddy film as a chick flick, the lead actresses want to steer clear of such labels.&nbsp; 
 
During a press interaction in New Delhi, both Sonam and Swara stated how the term itself is a “derogatory term for a woman”. 
 
"The film explores the friendship between four people who happen to be women. The film shows that how women support each other and are confidantes of each other. I just want to ask that whenever a movie is made with women characters in the centre, why it is called a ‘woman empowerment film’?" pointed out Sonam, whose sister Rhea Kapoor is a co-producer of the film. 
 
Swara Bhaskar also echoed friend Sonam's thoughts and said, "Basically a 'chick flick' is a strange category to put films in. Have we ever said that this film is a male-centric film or it is a ‘dude flick’? ' asked Bhasker who is known to be vocal about pertinent issues.&nbsp; 
 
“A film is a comedy, romance, action. There is no separate genre for girls only”, said Swara and added, “Such categories are misleading also because our story is about friendship not about a single section of the society." 
 
“I think boys can be friends and share the same vibe, a woman can only share the same vibe and this what we have shown in the film. Instead of labelling it, we should focus more on story, originality and on those parameters our film qualifies.” 
 
The women felt that the society unnecessarily puts labels on women. " Why is the idea of drinking and abusing limited to guys only? Why we can’t we look ahead of the fact that when four women meet, they can also talk in the similar language," said Swara. 
 
“We don’t want to be labelled, It is a film for women and men both," added Sonam. The film's being promoted on social media platforms as #IAmNotChickFlick

“We are just shying away from a label and we just don’t want to put the movie in a box," added Sonam.

Sonam does not mind if the film is called a wedding film. "Call it a wedding film, or anything but I think we should not term this film as a woman empowerment story just because it has four female friends. Or because the trailers show them cursing freely"&nbsp;

'Veere Di Wedding', directed by Shashanka Ghosh, releases in theatres on June 1. The film is Kareena Kapoor's first film post maternity break. She was last seen in 'Ki and Ka' in 2015.&nbsp;
