The world's second-best paying film industry has grown too cozy with those in power. Female actors aim to change that. Unlike in Hollywood, where actors and filmmakers have spoken out against governments, A-listers in Bollywood — the world’s second-best paying film industry — have largely remained silent. Under the current government, in fact, many have queued up to click selfies with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Now, as protests spread across India over a controversial new citizenship law and attacks on students, Bollywood women are breaking with that pattern even as the biggest male actors, such as Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan, stay quiet. |
