Kalpana Lajme talks about Chingaari
Patcy N | February 15, 2006
She may not have won any awards herself, but her actresses certainly
have. National Awards, no less. Whether it is Dimple Kapadia for
Rudaali or Raveena Tandon for Daman, it is director Kalpana Lajme
who creates the magic. Surprisingly, when Patcy N met with her,
the director said she was nervous. Her mouth was too dry for her
to speak. We did manage to get a lot out of her on her forthcoming
movie Chingaari though.
Sush: Prostitution is like any job
Why did you change the name from The Prostitute and Postman to
Chingaari?
My distributors felt the earlier names wouldn't work in the interiors.
An English title could have isolated the audience. I wanted villages
to celebrate it like we do in the cities. I decided on the title
only after editing the film.
