Director Varsha Bharat makes two announcements as it runs quickly for our interview. Pointing to her legs, which is currently located in a pair of a pair of pink flip-flops, she says, “A friend’s dog was chewed through the shoes that I was to wear.” Later, she says that she is having a competition of veins. “This is my first interview,” she says.

In the next 45 minutes, she sits on her chair with feet. His shoulders fall and take clarity. Varsha begins to tell the story of the film’s hero Ramya; Director test and tribulation with love on Yahoo Messenger; Working with directors such as Vatri Maran and Anurag Kashyap; And its stellar cast and crew.

,Dirty girl There is a film about a girl who is just trying to be. It is a soft film. It would be good if we all can cool down a little, no, ”she says.

Three weeks after his first Tamil film was released Dirty girlThe teaser of Varsha has been under a hurry of Rai. Detailed YouTube videos are dissected, and most criticized, cut by two minutes of Nayak Ramya (Essay by Anjali Shivaraman). The online conversation has said that the film promotes younger drinking and prevents the Tamil Brahmin community to be a repressive caste group.

Varsha is new to social media and has not yet understood the incompatibility. She is mostly appreciated because the nonsense is wrong that is plain and clear what is plain and clear. “When the conversation took place online, I wondered if I did not cut the teaser correctly. Tell me something, can’t you see that she grows up when she drinks? It is not that I am glorifying it and ‘just because a man can drink, I can also drink, I can also drink.’ I really love smooth flixes and that is what I have made, ”she says.

Although what is a smooth flick? Has it not historically not used to talk about women and dumb entertainers about their lives in Hollywood? “During the Covid-19 lockdown, I realized that only the things I wanted to see were stories about women. This was shocking to me because I was a huge Ajit Kumar fan. I was a brother. However, over time, these smooth flixes raised many questions about life and had a major philosophical depth. It was not just about women who ate cupcakes without gaining weight, she says.

As we speak, Varsha meditates on growing up in Chennai. Inward watching has been an important part of his writing process. She claims that she was a bad student who disliked physics, chemistry and mathematics. In college, he chose to do a course in electronic media because it felt it would be easy. “I had a habit of leaving everything within a month. When I told my friend that I joined the set of Vetri Maran as an advertisement, he said ‘I give it a month’. But it was on the set when I really felt alive. I got stuck all around and did not leave. In a film set, I felt as if I belong to, ”she says. “I don’t know how he chose me to be helpful on the basis of a short film made in college, but he claims that she saw the ability,” she says, laughing. Subsequently, she went to work on some important films in Vairi Maran’s filmography Visaaranai, Udhayam Nh4 And Vada Chennai,

Before he arrived Dirty girl For the title, Varsha briefly considered Adutha veetu pen For his title. She does not take any break and ensures that this story could only be told by her. The other script is written to complete and the director Vetri Maran is shown, which he had assisted for years. But no one has been as unique as Dirty girlIs it autobiographical?

Still from ‘Bad Girl’

“He is called Ramya, the reason for this is that we know at least 20 other people by this name. When we are growing up, we sometimes think that we are only people with strange thoughts. I think I grew up at this strange time when boys and girls would be the best friends on Yahoo Messenger, but would not say hello in the classroom. I attract these examples but it is not completely autobiographical. I, like Ramya, also wanted a lover in school, but not one, unfortunately, ”she says.

Varsha announced that men and women, including directors like Anurag Kashyap, who performed the film, had several flattery words to say about the film. “Anurag sir called the film seminal. I used to understand the word Google to understand that it meant that it could change the course of things, ”she says. Purush Jahan, who watched the film at the International Film Festival in Rotterdam, won the prestigious Netpack Award, said that he belongs to Ramya.

But these are women who are the most excited, they announce. Many women have been part of their artists and crew and a rule was established to ensure that no assistant director would be disrespectful. “All the women working on my film including Anjali, my editor Radha, who cut my teaser Madhu and my stylist Shruti, are very talented. While it was important to have many women on the set, it became equally important that became important to accept how talented they are.

The film is now making its way for many other festivals and is soon being released in theaters. While her newly inaugurated Instagram account has received some hatred, she has also been overwhelmed by many well -wishers of writing about her feelings about the film. He hopes people to watch the film and then comment on the subject.

“At some point, when I stopped watching the film with an advertisement lens, I realized that we had a really cute film. It is very cold and does not take herself seriously, ”she says.

As we wrap our conversation, I realize that Varsha’s reflection about the film can also be applied to itself. By this time, her nervousness is dissolved because she was for pictures. Pink flip-flop no longer matters.
