Pankaj Tripathi Calls for Broader Portrayal of Masculinity in Indian CinemaNext

Actor Pankaj Tripathi advocates for a broader portrayal of masculinity in Indian cinema, moving beyond aggressive and dominant stereotypes. Discussing his film Parivarik ManuRanjan, he emphasizes redefining the concept of an alpha male as a leadership quality rather than arrogance or chest-thumping. Tripathi highlights the influence of patriarchal conditioning on traditional male images and encourages diverse representations to allow audiences to form their own understanding of masculinity.
