Bollywood actress Kriti Sanon has stated that her recently released film Mimi had a positive impact after it leaked online by different piracy websites like Tamilrockers and movierulz.
The actress said that there had been a lot of hassle in the release of Mimi, especially when the entire film was leaked 4 days prior to its original release date. Looking at the sudden leak of the film, it made the makers to release it officially on July 26.
Like every film maker and artist, Kriti Sanon also believes that film piracy is illegal and needs to be stopped. But incidentally, this time it has proven beneficial for her. While reacting to a leading news portal, this is what she had to say, “If it was slated to release theatrically and then got leaked prior to that, it would’ve been a huge setback. But since it came on OTT, we had a lot more control. It created a lot of buzz because its release was completely unexpected. Everything has a silver lining,”
During the interview, she also raised points why male artists get a higher remuneration after the film’s success as compared to female casts.

This is what Sanon stated regarding the increasing pay disparity in Bollywood, “Male actors don’t have to do a ‘male-centric film’ to get a hike in their remuneration. Women need to prove their worth with a film that’s completely shouldered by them. What bothers me is if a film does well, they might get a hike in their projects but the different in the jump between their and our remuneration is a lot.”
But it looked like as if the actress is currently happy with the things improving at some level in Bollywood. Take a look at what she has to say in this regard, “There’ve been instances where women have been paid more than men,” the 31-year-old says. Talking about how the disparity in the pay scale can narrow down, Sanon remarks, “That will happen only when women-oriented films are written more and are appreciated. When producers will see that happening, they’ll increase the remuneration of female actors as well.” Sanon said.
