Actress Shabana Azmi has said that mainstream Hindi cinema is witnessing a change from the stereotypical portrayal of
mothers and other characters in earlier times.
“There is a change coming in mainstream Hindi cinema. Earlier, when there used to be a role of a mother, she would drop the thaali and scream nahi, an absolutely stereotypical role. And in Hindi films, there was always an attempt to wipe out all the details,” Azmi said at a press meet regarding the success of her film Neerja.
