Revathy says South filmmakers miss out on women over 40

Noted South actress-director Revathy said the industry fails to create good roles for actresses over 40. The star, who is happy about the rave reviews she received for her performance in Ranjith Sankar'sMolly Aunty Rocks, informed, Ranjith has also approached her for yet another project. "I asked him why scripts are not being written with women over 40 as central characters. I've always felt that our films miss out on women over 40.

There is a lot more these women do other than just being a mother, wife or career woman," she says. The senior star added, "As an actor, you always want to do different roles; those which are challenging. I'll continue acting as long as I get roles that inspire me. Most of our stories are based on romance and few have interesting subjects. However, there is a sea change happening now and many directors are thinking beyond romance”.
