Veteran actress and activist Shabana Azmi says filmmakers should be more responsible in depiction of women's body on screen, because the business of cinema is of images.

The actress, who was present here on Monday on a panel discussion at "Ficci Frames 2018", was asked about her opinion on actresses who practise their right of "my body, my choice", especially in item numbers in Bollywood films.

Azmi said: "When a leading lady says that 'it's alright, I want to celebrate my sensuality in those songs', I have no problem with that. But under the pretence of 'celebrating your sensuality' what you are actually doing is surrendering to the male gaze and objectifying yourselves because the business of cinema is of images."

"When you see the fragmented bits of a woman's body, you see heaving bosom, swinging navel, shaking hips… you are robbing the woman of all autonomy, completely," she explained.

Citing an example, the actress said: "In Zoya's film ZINDAGI NA MILEGI DOBARA, a scene shows leading lady Katrina Kaif coming out of the water wearing a bikini and wear her bathrobe. The camera does not go close to her, does not show her bosom. But on that very shot, if the director had decided to go over the top, it would have been objectification. So the intention needs to be clear."

The actress was present alongside CBFC member Vani Tripathi Tikoo, filmmaker Divya Khosla, well-known journalist and author Tavleen Singh and BTVI COO Meha Tata, among others.

Actor Rajkummar Rao says his upcoming film MENTAL HAI KYA is very quirky and a different comedy.

Asked whether he has become "mental" in the film, Rajkummar said: "I am very mental and from April onwards, I will entirely become mental. People are asking me that 'Mental Hai Kya'? So now I feel '#MentalHaiKya' will trend."

Rajkummar, who attended the second edition of Powerbrand Bollywood Film Journalist Awards on Monday in Mumbai, will be seen with actress Kangana Ranaut again in MENTAL HAI KYA after starring in the 2014 hit movie QUEEN.

"It's an amazing script as it is very quirky and different comedy. Kangana is such a powerhouse performer and we are coming together after QUEEN along with Ekta Kapoor (producer) so it's going to be lot of fun."

He shared the film's poster on Monday on his social media accounts and within a short period it received very positive response from the audience.

Asked about the other cast in MENTAL HAI KYA, he said: "As of now, me and Kangana are there in the film and to see who all are there in the film, audience have to watch the movie".

Ever since his debut in Hindi filmdom in 2010, Rajkummar has starred in several films like SHAITAN, TRAPPED, KAI PO CHE! , BAREILLY KI BARFI, BEHEN HOGI TERI and NEWTON.

Does Rajkummar keep a count of films he does in a year?

"I don't keep a count. I think media will tell me how many films I have done in 2018 same as they did in 2017. So, let's see how it goes but I don't really keep a count. I love doing interesting work."

MENTAL HAI KYA has been written by Kanika Dhillon and will be helmed by National award-winning director Prakash Kovelamudi.

Talking about winning an award at the Powerbrand Bollywood Film Journalist Awards, he said: "It always feels good whenever I win any award because last year was quite special and very interesting as whatever films I did, people liked my work and appreciated my effort so when people are honoring with awards for my performances it always feels great."

Director Vishal Pandya says that like the previous instalments of HATE STORY, its fourth part, which is "clearly" targeted towards an adult audience, has also received an 'A' certificate.

'HATE STORY as a brand serves the audience with an edgy content that is a mix of thriller, erotica and revenge.

On the adult rating, Pandya said in a statement: "The film is clearly targeted towards an adult audience… not just erotica, but even the themes of the film with revenge as its central story."

"The theme of the film is based on multiple issues faced by women and how it has built the emotion of hate in them and thus, their revenge. I would be worried if the censor board gave my film franchise a 'U/A' certificate."

HATE STORY 4, which stars Urvashi Rautela, Karan Wahi, Vivan Bhatena and Ihana Dhillon, will hit the screens on Friday.
