Actress Rakul Preet Singh, who portrays the title character in an upcoming social drama about sex education and sexual wellness, believes that the subject of sex education should be required rather than an elective.
During the trailer launch in Mumbai, Rakul Preet Singh spoke with the media alongside the complete cast and the producers.
The Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar-directed movie, which also features Rajesh Tailang, Satish Kaushil, and Sumeet Vyas in the leading roles, is scheduled to begin streaming on the OTT service Zee5 on January 20, 2023.
Talking about the her bold character in the movie, Rakul Preet Singh said, “For me, the character isn’t bold, but the entire conversation we’re trying to have in the film isn’t bold enough. It is as normal as anything; we talk about mental, physical, and spiritual health. Why we aren’t talking about sexual health.”
“It is not an option, and it is compulsory, sexual well-being, so why the education about sexual health is optional and not compulsory”, added Rakul.
Further adding about her character, Rakul said, “In today’s patriarchal society, every household needs a Sanya who holds the courage to single-handedly fight against all odds, traditions, social norms, and barriers. I hope this character inspires others to find their voice and speak up against unsafe sex and the many health implications of not using protection.”
The movie wants to emphasise the value of safe sex and male contraception. The film is slated to air on ZEE5 on January 20, 2023.
