Raveena Tandon opens up about comparison amongst her film Maatr and Sridevi's Mom!

Bollywood actresses Raveena Tandon and Sridevi have been the ultimate divas of their eras and both with their enigmatic acts created a stir amongst their admirers. Now, the two are coming with their projects, Maatr and Mom. But, soon after the posters came out, there were comparisons being drawn between both the movies. 

In an interview with a famous agency, Raveena told, "She is a senior, I respect her a lot and I've always been the biggest fan of hers. I am proud that, whether it's Pink, Mom or Maatr, our industry is making these films today. I hope such films are made more. So, there is no comparison. I feel a message like this should be given at least six months a year to wake up people."  

Speaking about her comeback, she told, "I find that a very strange term. Nobody uses it internationally. Everyone becomes selective after a while. I worked in the '90s where we used to do 30 films at a time. But the whole trend has changed. As an actor, I've reached a point where I'll do a film which I believe in."

"I did a couple of films in the middle which went to festivals, I completed Onir's 'Shabh'. I don't see myself going anywhere. I've been working on TV all along. After I have done 'Maatr' and 'Shabh', I don't know when I'll do a film again. How many times will I make a comeback," Raveena further added.

She also opened up on the issues like rape. She told, "The mindset needs to change. Often we see comments like 'why did she wear a jeans, skirt, or why was she out so late', they are shaming the victim more. Rather than saying they are our sisters, daughters, and we apologize as political leaders that we failed to protect them..."

Raveena Tandon’s comeback with revenge drama Maatr; Watch trailer!

Actress Raveena Tandon returns to the silver screen with Maatr as a strong-willed mother filled with revenge. The movie that also marks the comeback of Tandon has already generated a lot of buzz and the trailer released today, will only add to the excitement.

Emphasizing on the heinous crime such as rape, the movie follows the life of a mother who takes charge to seek justice for her daughter after the society and the judiciary fail her. She is out there to take revenge from the criminals who destroyed her daughter's life. They are powerful, capable of doing anything but here is a mother standing up against all of them in her quest for justice. 

Raveena proves yet again why she is one of the best actresses we have. 

It traces her journey from being a law abiding citizen to that of a person who is forced to take law into her own hands. 

Will her vengeance triumph over judiciary? Will she be able to do justice for her daughter? Well, we will have to wait and watch for the tale to unfold.

The film also confronts us with some chilling fact, it ends saying that as each of us watch this trailer, and a girl got raped in some part of the country. 

Written by Michael Pellico, Maatr also features Divya Jagdale, Anurag Arora in pivotal roles. The movie has been directed by Ashtar Sayed and is set to hit the theatres on April 21, 2017.
