Kangana Ranaut<\/a> deserve bigger cheques, just like male superstars.DK added, \u201cI, obviously, think that there should be no gender bias there. Largely, it [remunerations] should be dependent on an actor\u2019s market pull. That\u2019s how the business should work. Kangana (Ranaut) has headlined so many different films that became blockbusters. The same can be said for Deepika and Alia. It means they\u2019re superstars.\u201d For DK, these actresses have already earned the title of \u201csuperstar\u201d, and the industry should pay them accordingly.<\/p>\nRaj-DK continue shaping strong female roles<\/p>\n
Raj-DK have long been appreciated for showcasing powerful, layered and memorable female characters. DK confirmed this is intentional. He said, \u201cIt\u2019s by design, of course. We always wanted to have strong female characters in our movies. Sometimes, the milieu and situation of a story may not allow it to happen. But when it does allow and you\u2019ve the opportunity to create a nice, well-rounded, identifiable female character or a female character who kicks a, there\u2019s nothing more pleasurable than that.\u201d<\/p>\n
DK speaks about \u2018The Family Man 3\u2019<\/p>\n
Speaking about \u2018The Family Man 3\u2019, DK explained how the women in Srikant Tiwari\u2019s world, Suchi, Raji and Meera bring depth, conflict and balance to the story. These characters, played by Priyamani, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Nimrat Kaur, are far from simple side roles. He shared, \u201cWhen the opportunity came with The Family Man, we first created the wife as a strong pillar of support and a counterbalance to Srikant\u2019s work life. In season two, a woman became the antagonist, which took things to the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n
