Recently, many actresses have come forward with their accounts of being replaced, removed, or rejected, often because the male star wanted his girlfriend in the film. Such is the dynamic of power between male and female stars. While male actors and professionals hold significant control, female stars, no matter how skilled or experienced, are often left struggling, subjected to male dominance. So, when a woman’s contribution to a film is not acknowledged, it is not just a trivial omission—it reflects the deep-rooted systemic issues of the industry. It dismisses the labour, energy, time, skill, and talent that female movie stars invest in a film.
