Kamal Haasan and Trisha spoke at the FICCI MEBC South, in Chennai. Trisha shared that there has been massive progress towards how the industry treats its female artistes. ‘There is no shelf life (for actresses) anymore. Five years ago, I probably wouldn’t have had an answer if somebody had asked, ‘Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?’ Today, directors and superstars believe we need well-etched-out characters for women,’ she said. Kamal: ‘Cinema, in a very short while, has become a language on its own. So, filmmakers who understand that language make better films because they communicate it better.’ ‘I cannot interfere with the growth of a future actor because I will be teaching him the acting of my time. It will be useful for him only like how my predecessors’ acting has been useful for me,” he said.
