When asked why he chose this topic, director Vishad Tiwari responded, “We read and watch the news about women being harassed and women being raped, but there doesn’t seem to be a solution to the problem. Women still appear to be in danger in our society. The primary goal of this narrative is to attempt to shed light on the current issue that our nation is dealing with.
“As a woman, this role was incredibly liberating for me, and the greatest part was, we were filming for the film at the time when #Metoo had just started and being able to play such a powerful character made me feel empowered,” stated Ridhi Dogra when discussing her role in this film. I’m grateful to my young director Vishad Tiwari for having faith in me to carry off this part in the hopes that audiences will like it and disseminate the message the movie has for society.
“We have witnessed people raising their voices and demonstrating against rapes in our nation, but what happens next? We are all aware that the system has failed. As the producer Aditya Bharadwaj put it, “‘Therapist’ is our way of alerting the public that anytime the system fails, someone needs to make things right.
