Chitrangda Singh addresses why action films remain male-led
Chitrangda Singh highlights realism challenges in women-centric action movies
Chitrangda Singh shares rare insights on women leading intense films, highlighting the scope for daring action sequences.
In her recent media interaction, the 50-year-old actress explained why women don’t usually lead films like Dhurandhar.
Speaking to Hindustan Times, she stated, "It’s just the biology of it. Physically and biologically, a woman is not [deemed fit for the part]. I know that some people might just not like what I’m saying, but it’s a fact."
She continued, "There are a lot of social reasons why women can’t possibly be sent off like how Ranveer Singh’s character in Dhurandhar goes. So there’s probably that reason, as certain realism is required when it comes to that."
Moreover, she added that female led action films could surprise audiences, noting, “Having said that, there can be some amazing action sequences like there is Lokah and a South action film that was done in early 2025, and it was one of the most gruesome action films I have ever seen."
Meanwhile, the first glimpse of Dhurandhar: The Revenge has been revealed, giving fans a look at Ranveer Singh’s character Hamza as he takes on India’s enemies in Pakistan.
In the end of the teaser, the lead can be spotted saying, “Yeh Naya Hindustan hai. Yeh ghar mein ghusega bhi aur maarega bhi."
Notably, the upcoming cinematic hit, set to premiere on March 19, 2025.
On the work front, Chitrangada is engaged in the soon to release action drama Battle of Galwan, along with Salman Khan. The movie directed by Apoorva Lakhia, is expected to premiere in April 2026.
