‘Above 50’ male actors prefer signing young actresses: Dia Mirza
On asking about an actress career in film industry Dia said “For women (actors), especially once they hit their mid-30s, opportunities, unfortunately, start shrinking because some filmmakers want to cast young actresses and most male actors, who have well passed their 50s, (also) want to work with the younger talent.”
“One needs to break through this. It is going to take some fundamental changes in the way we approach our cinema whether it is about every woman making her choices or choosing to marry when she wants and continue to be a professional.
Today the female actors have to push themselves, explore opportunities, and even create them for themselves.”
I waited For Two And Half Years:
When asked about her role in the film Sanju she revealed “I waited for two-and-half years from the time I finished my Iranian film to hear from a credible filmmaker asking me to be a part of his film”.
She added “In December 2016, I got a call from Rajkumar Hirani for ‘Sanju’. I was leaving for a vacation at that time. Raju sir (Rajkumar Hirani) told me to come to my office as he wanted to narrate a film”.
“I told him that I am travelling. He said I might have to cancel the trip. He said that if I like the film and role, we will have to start reading immediately as the shooting will begin in 15 days.”
She told that she was relieved and excited because she wasn’t working on a film…it was scary and terrifying, she said “I was excited and pumped to be part of a film that would be credible. To work with Raju sir, who I have always admired, on ‘Sanju’ was a very nice experience.”
