Kareena Kapoor discusses her role in “Daayra,” saying she was cast to portray a woman police officer in a way that challenges stereotypes. In comments cited by NDTV, she credits director Meghna Gulzar with being clear from the start about the creative direction for the film, including having a woman cop at the helm.
The film also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran. Kapoor’s remarks emphasize that the character and her portrayal are meant to move beyond conventional expectations of law enforcement and gendered roles, using details like a woman’s appearance and manner alongside her job. Across the coverage, the focus stays on the intent behind the casting and character framing rather than on plot specifics or production updates.
NDTV presents the same core message in two headlines and closely overlapping summaries, framing Kapoor’s comments as part of broader discussion about representation in mainstream cinema and how the film’s leadership and character concept seek to broaden perceptions of who can embody policing roles.
