Popular television actress Radhika Madan, who plays one of the leading ladies in the upcoming film Pataakha — set in a small town of Rajasthan — says such hinterland stories are changing the urban audience’s perception about small towns.
On her experience of shooting the film in a village called Ronsi near Jaipur, Radhika said: “We have a notion about small town women that they are living a deprived life and are always under the ghoonghat (veil). But that is untrue. During the journey of the film, I realised that women in a small town have a great life, dominating men to an extent. I think we are breaking the pre-conceived notion of small town through cinema.”
