Lara writes her own ticket
Thu, November 20 2008
“What prompted me to write a script for myself? Scriptwriters in Bollywood aren’t writing anything in depth for a woman. Invariably the scripts glorify the hero while the heroine is the love interest. And the women-oriented films are half-baked attempts at feminist statements. Both to me are uninspiring,” Lara told IANS in an interview.
So will she take to direction as well? “No I’m not ready to direct yet. And I can’t wait to start my film. I’ve done two drafts. And I think it needs one more draft, then I’m ready,” she said.
But, interestingly, Lara hasn’t written a woman-oriented film. “It has equal space for the male and female protagonists. It’s not one of those feminist, in-your-face women’s films. The male lead will have a lot to contribute to my film.”
The former Miss Universe refused to reveal if Dino Morea, with whom she is linked, will play the lead in her film.
