'Hope It's Glimmer Of Hope,' Meera Chopra Starrer 'Super Woman' To Address Asexuality

Actor Meera Chopra will be next starring in Super Woman. The movie is described as the country's first to address asexuality. Meanwhile, the first poster for Safed, another movie starring Chopra, was presented at the recent Cannes Film Festival.

Actor Meera Chopra is well-known for her roles in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu movies. She has acted in South Indian films like Anbe Aaruyire, Jambhavan, Vaana, and Marudhamalai, as well as Hindi films like Gang of Ghosts, 1920 London, and Section 375.

Meera Chopra's Super Woman

Her most recent film, Super Woman, will be directed by Zaigham Imam, a director well-known for his impressive body of work on the film festival circuit. At the 2019 India International Film Festival of Boston (IIFFB), he received the Best Director award for Nakkash. Tigmanshu Dhulia and Poonam Dhillon are among the other actors in the movie. The movie is produced by Golden Ratio Films (GRF).

In a statement, Chopra discussed her most recent film and said, "The storyline really piqued my interest. Indians had never heard of the phrase 'asexual'. So many men and women struggle to convey their feelings to their peers. While doing research for the movie, I found startling figures about the incidence of forced marriages and suicides of asexual women. It is alarming! We hope that Super Woman will provide those who are suffering the opportunity to express their true feelings to society with a glimmer of hope."

Super Woman, according to Meera, is a tribute to all the superwomen who are bucking societal expectations. She stated: "The rest of the world needs to understand that a woman's sexuality cannot define her. Every woman may rule the world, whether she identifies as 'sexual' or 'asexual'. We are no longer the 'weaker' sex."

Chopra further speaking said that a woman's character, spirit and personality are her "greatest assets rather than her sexuality".

"Our film makes a stunning case that a woman is valuable regardless of her sexual orientation. During my research, I was horrified to come across documentaries that denigrated women as nothing more than sex objects," she added about the film.

Giving his comments on Super Woman Piyush Singh, Chief Operating Officer of Golden Ratio Films, said, "The film Super Woman is unique in that it illuminates a subject that will strike a chord with many discerning viewers."
