Popular television actress Radhika Madan, who plays one of the leading ladies in the upcoming film Pataakha -- set in a small town of Rajasthan -- says such hinterland stories are changing the urban audience's perception about small towns.

On her experience of shooting the film in a village called Ronsi near Jaipur, Radhika told IANS here: "We have a notion about small town women that they are living a deprived life and are always under the 'ghoonghat (veil)'. But that is untrue. During the journey of the film, I realised that women in a small town have a great life, dominating men to an extent.
