Bhoot Police, Bachchan Pandey, Cirkus And Mr Lele: Bollywood Is Finally Gearing Up For Two-Heroine Films
Here’s looking at how Bollywood has finally opened up to the concept of featuring two actresses in the lead.
From time immemorial, in our film industry, actresses have been pitted against each other, and more so when they are starring in the same film, but things are changing now. Gone are the days when actresses used to be apprehensive of sharing screen space with another actress. In the past few years, especially in the Gen-Z, actresses have become very secure about their place in the industry.
Recently, Farhan Akhtar announced his next directorial, Jee Le Zaraa, that features not one, not two but three leading actresses, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt. Ananya Panday did her first two films that had another heroine in them - Student Of The Year 2 with Tara Sutaria and Pati Patni Aur Woh with Bhumi Pednekar. And seems like the trend is here to stay.
Bhoot Police
The trailer of this horror comedy was released yesterday, and it features Saif Ali Khan, Arjun Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez and Yami Gautam. Jacqueline has previously also been part of multi-heroine films like Housefull franchise, but this is just the first of many two actresses’ films in her upcoming line up.
