    Pink isn't about women empowerment. It's a 'Social Thriller', Says Big B

    Wednesday, 14 September 2016 09:08

    Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan says his forthcoming film Pink is neither about women's empowerment nor on rape but a social thriller and one that touches upon many aspects of what morals and society norms and practices women in India experience.

    Talking about his interactions with the media regarding the film that features him in the role of a lawyer, he posted on his blog on Sunday: "The question of the context and the premise of the film shall always be of prime interest, and many dwell their queries on that ... much is not spelt out because of the nature of the story and, of course, the nature of its genre -- a social thriller!" So why a social thriller? "Well, because the story is in the thriller genre and while we are busy narrating the story, there shall be occasion to swiftly brush past the issue of society and morals and conduct," Big B wrote.

    He also said that there was a "sense of surprise" when the trailer recently released and the "harsh verbology was heard".
