Kareena Kapoor on ‘Crew’s’ success: Women can break box office rules

Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor recently opened up about the success of her latest release, the con comedy, Crew.

The film has earned over Rs 150 crore at the ticket counter, shattering any perception of gender bias in cinema. Kareena said that she is happy the film has broken barriers and proved that ‘women can also break box office rules.’

Speaking about the same, Kareena told PTI, “Films are a form of entertainment and if you have a powerful message in the form of entertainment like ‘Crew’… It had three women leading (a film) coming into theatres. We have done a business of over Rs 150 crore. That in itself is a validation that today there is no gender bias. We are trying to break those norms.”

“It’s not about whether it’s a hero or a heroine taking on a film. It’s a person and (their) performance that takes the film and content (forward). We are going to keep trying to do that. I will always choose roles that are interesting but in the form of entertainment. I’m happy Crew has broken barriers. It started the conversation that women also can break box office rules,” said the actor.

Kareena is now awaiting the release of Hansal Mehta’s Buckingham Murders, and Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again.

In other news, Kareena was named UNICEF India’s brand ambassador on Saturday.
