‘I learnt about it yesterday from Google alert and it felt bizarre in the beginning. In fact, it felt very weird. It shows how sexually obsessed a lot of people in our society are. You leak only the sex scene and no other beautiful scenes from the film. It only shows that we are extremely obsessed about sex and yet we don’t want to talk about it. We shun it, shove it under the carpet and don’t want to show it to people.’
Adil says the country reeks of patriarchy because of the fact that the scene was titled ‘Radhika Sex Scene’ and not ‘Adil Hussain Sex Scene’.
‘The most interesting aspect is that the leaked videos is titled as Radhika Apte sex scene and not as Adil Hussain sex scene. That’s because a man doing it is just another matter whereas when a woman does it, it does matter. It is only then when it becomes a sex scene. It also shows the patriarchal society that we live in. In the West, such scenes are normally shown in their films. The person who has done it, I am sure is not a woman but a man. And it must be an Indian man.’
The movie is about 4 rural women in Gujarat who want to break free of old traditions and patriarchy. Here’s the film’s trailer.
