My lady IPS in Jai Gangaajal will inspire others : Parkash Jha

 

The National award winning film maker explains why he has chosen Priyanka Chopra to essay the role of Abha.

"Priyanka's character was perceived to be weak, pliable but she proved to be a tough nut to crack and hence faced confrontation. I chose a female cop to project this vision. It was important," Jha explains about the character.

In sync with the subject of the film, the iLEAD discussion veered round 'The Challenges faced by women police in our country.'

Deputy Commissioner of Kolkata Police Debasree Chatterjee says such films will inspire more girls to join the police force.

"Such films will help break certain myths about women not being fit enough to join police forces. Women should not be taken as different. They should be judged as other felllow humans, not as females," she says

"On personal front I had never been treated differently as a woman in police force," she says.
