During an interaction with Film Companion, Zoya spoke about how the career graphs of several leading actresses pan out in the Indian film industry. She said, “In many films, they (female actors) would rather be in a big hero-led film than carry their own film. However, things are changing. YRF is doing a Spy Universe film with Alia (Bhatt) in it. She has several (done several female-led films) in the past, and Vidya Balan has done it as well. So, things are changing.”
