On the flip side, Kajal Agarwal who also made her film entry almost at the same time with Tamanna is still doing some prestigious projects like Sardaar Gabbar Singh and Brahmotsavam in Telugu.

Mumbai: Actress Vidya Balan, who has featured in strong women-centric films in her career, feels it’s important that respect for a woman should be independent of the clothes that she wears. “It’s important that the mindset changes. Girls should wear what they wish to wear. Her respect should not be linked to her attire. A girl can be anywhere and in any profession, and even for actresses, people’s respect for them should not depend on the length of their clothes,” Vidya said at a Youth For Unity event, where she was a panelist here on Thursday.

Citing the example of “The Dirty Picture”, where she had played a bold role to stress her point, she said: “There is eve-teasing everywhere, more in some places than in other places. Girls should be fearless, they should turn and slap if they feel so, or verbally abuse or just scream and he (eve-teaser) will automatically run away. But do not get scared.” Vidya has been one actress who chooses performance-oriented roles, having carried numerous films such as “Kahaani” and “The Dirty Picture” on her shoulders and ensured profits for the producers. She looks for a similar equality with men in every field.

“It’s as important for girls to stand on their feet like the boys. I don’t discriminate between the two and that is not something we should be doing. Our world is also moving towards a more equal space. “I feel very good when I see a lot of girls at a function, that they are coming forward and participating at events, joining initiatives and taking up education, and working in various professions and industries.

In numerous professions where girls weren’t there, we can see them now. I feel very good about it,” she added. On the big screen, Vidya was last seen in “Hamari Adhuri Kahani”.

Chennai: Ever wondered what the formative years of characters Baahubali and Bhallala Deva were like or who were their best friends? Filmmaker S.S. Rajamouli promises answers to many such questions as one of India’s biggest motion pictures, “Baahubali”, is set to be released as graphic novels, games and animated series. Arka Mediaworks, the makers of the film and character entertainment company Graphic India, have teamed up to take the story beyond the movie. “From the minute I started working on this story, I knew the world of ‘Baahubali’ can’t be encompassed into a film or two, simply because there’s so much more to tell, so many backstories to share. What we managed to showcase in the film was just a chip of the iceberg,” Rajamouli told IANS in an exclusive interview.

The story of “Baahubali” can run into thousands of pages, according to the director. “Take the story of the character Baahubali for instance. We have everything that happened in his life, every minute detail from birth to death. In the film, however, what you see is just a few fleeting shots from the time he was a toddler to when he was a 27-year-old,” he said. Using the transmedium (technique of telling a story across multiple platforms with the help of digital technology), he wants to take the remaining story of “Baahubali” to larger audiences with the expertise of Graphic India. “Film medium has limited space and we couldn’t use that to share everything we wanted to. There’s a lot of intrigue, action and adventure in the life of all the characters of the film, which we could include when we release the story as a comic, animated series or a game,” he added.

Rajamouli believes “Baahubali” will create the market for comics in the country which is very less in percentage vis-a-vis the west. “The global character entertainment industry is worth over $100 billion and countries like Korea, Japan and the US are flourishing in this business. Yet we the country with the largest human population, constitute only the smallest piece of this pie,” Rajamouli rued. “Instead of looking at India as not being a big comic market, let’s try and understand why there’s no market, and it’s because there are no good comics that can match international standards. A market of over 1 billion people is open for us and waiting to be tapped. Isn’t that a good sign,” he asked.

How will the comics appeal to the masses, Rajamouli’s core audience? “The general perception is that the front benchers and uneducated audiences in a theatre constitute the masses, while those seated in the balcony and pay more for a ticket form the elite class. This is just a misconception because take it from me, the guy who spends for a reclining seat ticket may enjoy commercial films as much as anybody or even more,” he said. “If ‘Baahubali’ appealed to the masses, across all types of people and demographics, I don’t see why people won’t like to know more about the world of Baahubali through a different medium, provided they are offered a world-class product. I’m sure they will buy it,” he added.

The first comic experience, Rajamouli assures, can be expected in June or July, followed by the animated series closer to the release of the film’s second part.
