Filmmakers in Bollywood and downsouth are trying some refreshingly different subjects.
We have seen films on wives swapping their husbands, on gay relationships and on men doing striptease. But now, two films based on the subject of men getting transformed into women will hit the theatres in December.
Actress Antara Mali ’s directorial debut Mr. Ya Miss stars Aftab Shivdasani as a flirtatious man who dies, goes to heaven and returns to the earth as a woman. Antara herself plays the feminine re-incarnation of Aftab in the film.
Another movie based on a similar subject has actor Sammir Dattani enacting the role of a playboy who becomes a woman by voodoo and black magic. The film is a Kannada movie titled ‘Jackpot’.
Interestingly, both the male actors play very small roles in their respective films, as they become women in the early first-half only. It is the actresses who get the real footage.
