Rani Mukerji: “‘Mardaani’ is not about men bashing”

Rani Mukerji, who returned to the big screen with a bang with her recently released woman-centric movie ‘Mardaani’ (2014), clarified recently that the film�۪s motive was only to spread awareness about human trafficking. If people are thinking that it demonizes any particular gender, then they are completely wrong.

Mukerji said that through her latest Yash Raj Film’s outing, she has made an attempt to spread a message on an issue which is so close to her heart. “Trafficking is something that we know is happening around us. But we can only sympathise. It was important to do a film which is relevant. It gives strength to people and inspires them,” she told NDTV.

“Men have cried watching the film. It’s not about men bashing. It’s not a crusade against men. It’s about going against those who have turned into animals. I know a lot of men who support the cause,” she added.

She also expressed confidence that her film will have an even wider audience. “If women cops come in the picture, they will fight for the cause stronger. All seats reserved for women cops should be filled,” said the actress.
