Actress Shraddha Srinath is one of the leading stars of the South Indian film industry. She was last seen playing one of the leads in the movie ‘Krishna and his Leela’, which released on Netflix during the lockdown.
Shraddha has been very active across social media platforms during the lockdown and she frequently posts her pictures and her statements as stories, engaging with her fans. She has now posted a long rant, questioning the age old stereotype of cinema.
Her story read “Why does cinema try to make middle class homes look so tasteful? Why does every character in our films have enough money and great aesthetics to make their spaces look so frame worthy? Why are we so afraid to show the middle class in its full authenticity?”
She further added “Why not display brightly coloured stuffed toys in the living room shelf? Some plastic trophies with decades of dust on it. Family photographs with a digitally printed background of a Japanese hanging garden at the back? A Wedding invitation that was too posh to throw away. Outdated furniture. Show me the real stuff buddy. You can't engineer authenticity.”
In a consecutive story, Shraddha said that she was not talking about Malayalam cinema and they get it right every single time. She also mentioned that she’s ranting and asked the viewer to carry on.
On the work front, Shraddha will next be seen playing a crucial role alongside Vishal in the movie ‘Chakra’. She will also be re-uniting with her Vikram Vedha co-star Madhavan for the movie ‘Maara’. Stay tuned for more updates.
