Homi Adjania has a 'bunch of unstoppable females' for 'Saas Bahu aur Flamingo'

Mumbai, April 19 Filmmaker Homi Adjania spoke about smashing patriarchy and how he did not let action sequences or uncomfortable language define the characters.

Produced by Maddock Films, the series is directed by Homi Adajania and stars Dimple Kapadia, Radhika Madan, Angira Dhar and Isha Talwar in pivotal roles along with a talented cast, Ashish Verma, Varun Mitra, Udit Arora, Deepak Dobriyal and Monica Dogra amongst others.

Adajania said: "The women in my show are beyond male suppression and the sexist nature of society at large. Their characters are fearless spartans. No one would dare to confront them on any turf."

"They are not shackled by the power play of any patriarchy and have understood the system and know how to manipulate it. The great part about this ensemble was that they have the exact same energy and zeal in them."

Furthermore, talking about the action sequences on the series: "During a few action sequences in the show, Dimple Kapadia cracked her finger in the first take and yet continued to punch a door with her broken finger for four more takes."

"Radhika Madan flew off a 30-foot high structure and dangled in the air on her harness - she wasn't fazed at all and just climbed back up and continued all guns blazing. Isha Talwar had squibs burst in her face, went to hospital and returned to fight again. I realised then I had a bunch of unstoppable females and that I'm not over-shooting the gravity of the narrative."
