Actress Khushbu Sundar's latest production, 'Aranmanai 4,' has surpassed Rs 100 crore at the box office. The actress-turned-producer expressed her desire to explore projects similar to 'Darlings,' 'Badhaai Ho,' and 'Crew.' Khushbu emphasises that she isn't solely focused on producing women-centric films.
According to her, there is no such multiplex audience in South India as yet.
In an interview, Khushbu Sundar mentioned that it will take some time for certain film concepts to gain acceptance. She cited the example of 'Badhaai Ho,' which didn't fare well when remade in Tamil.
Directed by her husband Sundar C, 'Aranmanai 4' is her latest production. Khushbu, who debuted as a child artist in the Hindi film 'The Burning Train,' is vigilant about the portrayal of women in her movies. She refuses to depict women in a negative light, particularly avoiding glorifying abusive relationships as a norm. Preferring commercial cinema over preachy narratives, Khushbu, with nearly four decades of industry experience, celebrates the increasing involvement of women in commercially successful projects.
The actress noted a significant shift in the film industry's landscape, highlighting the traditional focus on male-centric narratives. She acknowledges the trend where heroes often overshadow heroines in films. However, she finds it remarkable that women can now lead films independently and still achieve success, underscoring that a male co-star isn't necessary for a hit. According to her, it's the content itself that drives a film's success, applauding this notable change in perspective.
