From ‘Mimi’ to ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’, and most recently the released ‘Crew’, female-led films are certainly taking centre stage. It seems like Vidya Balan is appreciating this shift in women's representation in films. The actress, who is gearing up for the release of her romantic comedy ‘Do Aur Do Pyaar’ opposite Pratik Gandhi, shared her thoughts on male actors' discomfort with women taking centre stage.

Recently, in a conversation with Indian Express, while discussing how her successful films like ‘The Dirty Picture’ made male actors reluctant to work opposite her, Vidya Balan said, “Back in the day? (rolls eyes) I don’t think they’d be okay even today to star in a Vidya Balan film or a female-led film for that matter. It’s their loss honestly because we are doing better films than they are. I genuinely believe that. They are doing more formulae-based films; women-led films are far more exciting.”
