Mysskin speaks out on 'Bad Girl' controversy; plans to quit cinema

In the upcoming film 'Dragon', a talented ensemble cast including Pradeep Ranganathan, Anupama Parameswaran, Kayadu Lohar, Mishkin, K.S. Ravikumar, and Gautam Menon come together to deliver what promises to be an engaging cinematic experience. Directed by Ashwath Marimuthu and with music composed by Leon James, 'Dragon' is set for a theatrical release on February 21. The film's storyline has already piqued the interest of audiences, and the music launch event held in Chennai on February 13 added more excitement to the film's release. During the event, Mysskin, the noted filmmaker and actor, spoke passionately about the 'Bad Girl' film controversy, a subject that has sparked significant discussion.

Mysskin expressed his deep concern over the way the film, directed by a woman, was being blocked based on its trailer. Mysskin emphasized the injustice of stopping a movie solely because of its preview, particularly when the director is a woman. He further stated that the situation deeply upset him, as it reflects a broader issue of how women filmmakers face additional challenges in the industry. Mysskin called for unity among everyone in the film industry, urging them to join forces with politicians to ensure that objectionable content is removed and that the movie, made by a woman, could be released. He underscored how important it is to support female directors, given the significant challenges they often face.

Towards the end of the event, the hosts displayed photos of the film crew and asked Mysskin for his thoughts on each person. When asked about himself, Mysskin jokingly replied, "One who is about to retire from cinema soon," leaving the audience in laughter. His lighthearted comment added a humorous touch to the otherwise serious discussion and made for a memorable moment at the event.
