Kiran Rao, a prominent filmmaker and the ex-wife of Bollywood actor Aamir Khan, recently shared her perspective on certain Indian films, including “Kabir Singh” and “Baahubali,” during an event. Rao expressed her concerns about the portrayal of stalking in Indian cinema, suggesting that films like “Kabir Singh” romanticize such behavior under the guise of wooing a woman.
“Kabir Singh,” directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and starring Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani, faced criticism for its portrayal of a protagonist with aggressive and possessive tendencies. Rao’s comments reflect a growing awareness and discussion within the film industry regarding the depiction of relationships and gender dynamics on screen.
Rao also cited “Baahubali” as an example, raising questions about how the film’s hero, played by Prabhas, pursues the female lead, played by Anushka Shetty, in a way that might be perceived as stalking.
Her remarks underscore the ongoing conversations in the Indian film industry about the responsibility of filmmakers in shaping societal attitudes, particularly regarding issues like consent, stalking, and toxic masculinity. Filmmakers and actors are increasingly being called upon to be mindful of the impact their work can have on the audience and societal norms.
Kiran Rao’s commentary adds to the broader discourse on the representation of relationships in cinema and the influence it can have on shaping perceptions in real life. As the film industry continues to evolve, discussions around responsible storytelling and the portrayal of characters will likely remain integral to its growth and impact on society.
