Filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, who gave Bollywood its first superhero Krrish, recently made a statement that has the industry’s ladies frowning. He said that a female centric superhero film would not be accepted in India, and that is why he won’t be making a film that revolves around a women with super powers.

If I have a superhero in my film, then I can have a ‘super-heroine’ [sic]. I don’t think I can make a female-based film, as I believe the audience won’t accept that.
