Men rule film industry
Lillete Dubey says the film industry is very male dominated, which is why she has restricted her choice of roles in films now. "Irrespective of all the claims we stake at our actresses having become very empowered and many female centric roles being written for actresses, blah blah...fact is, men still lead the film industry. In that respect, whether we talk about the lead actors or senior characters, men always play more important roles.”
This explains why Lillete has accepted fewer films in the recent past and stuck to theatre instead.

"Theatre is not like films. It gives me an equal platform like the men. Besides, the versatility of roles in theatre is remarkable and keeps me interested. Otherwise, I tend to get bored easily," she adds.
