Mesmerising beauties game for mom roles. There was a time when young actresses hesitated to embrace onscreen motherhood, fearing it might limit their future roles. However, a notable shift has occurred, with actresses like Keerthy Suresh and Shraddha Srinath leading the charge, challenging stereotypes by taking up well-designed and significant motherly roles.
Director Eashwar Karthic, who helmed the unique thriller 'Penguin,' commends Keerthy Suresh for fearlessly accepting the role of a mother, emphasizing her excitement for the gripping narrative. According to him, Keerthy's talent shone through, and she effortlessly portrayed the character.
Shraddha Srinath, who left a lasting impression as a devoted mother in 'Jersey,' is set to reprise a motherly role in the upcoming film 'Saindhav' opposite Venkatesh. Despite initial reluctance, her portrayal in 'Jersey' turned out to be a highlight, generating considerable anticipation for her latest venture.
While many new-age actresses embrace motherhood on screen, established stars like Kajal Agarwal, Tamannaah, and Anushka Shetty tend to stick to lover girl roles, avoiding the shift to maternal characters. Director Hemanth Madhukar observes the industry trend, noting that glamorous heroines often shy away from mother roles, fearing potential market and offer losses.
However, he distinguishes actresses like Suhasini, who fearlessly take on diverse roles, from those who are more cautious. Hemanth appreciates the trend set by young actresses like Keerthy Suresh and Shraddha Srinath, who view motherly roles as intriguing characters in their careers.
Despite the changing landscape, Priyamani challenges the notion of stereotyping, citing her portrayal of a mother in the 'Family Man' series. She believes that times have evolved, with filmmakers now crafting compelling roles. Priyamani emphasizes that taking on a motherly role doesn't pigeonhole her; instead, she selects roles that contribute to her learning and growth. In the evolving landscape of the entertainment industry, actresses are breaking free from traditional molds, choosing roles based on substance and character rather than succumbing to outdated expectations.
