Directed by Pankaj Batra, Zee Studio's latest Punjabi movie 'MitranDa Naa Chalda' is set to hit theatres on International Women's Day on 8 March 2023.
Talking to SBS Punjabi, the lead actress Tania Sharma said the film highlights the critical issue of consent and how people are often subjected to harassment for defending their rights.
"We have tried to depict many pertinent issues plaguing our society in a comic way because humour encourages Punjabi audiences to watch films on the big screen," she said.
Ms Sharma said it's important for both men and women to feel in control of their emotions and body.
"Our perspectives have become biased due to society's conditioning, and life gets harder when you don't have authority over your self," she added.
