new poster from Lipstick Under My Burkha

“‘Lipstick Under My Burkha” is an upcoming Indian film made in Hindi. The film is directed by Alankrita Shrivastava and produced by Prakash Jha. The movie stars Ratna Pathak Shah, Konkona Sen Sharma, Aahana Kumra in the lead along with Sushant Singh and Vikram Massey. In January 2017, the Central Board of Film Certification refused to certify the film, stating that “The story is lady oriented, their fantasy above life.”

Today Balaji Motion Pictures have released a new poster on Twitter saying,” A dash of red can spark off a rebellion! Presenting LIPSTICK UNDER MY BURKHA poster ???? #LipstickRebellionBegins”

Prakash Jha said, our film was a simple story of four women in a very normal, funny conversation talking about their dreams, aspirations, bodies, sexuality, career and then what happened? A male gazing mind oriented CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) gets scared about how women can talk about themselves and think. But I was confident that if its presented properly and a set of people look at it with a rational point of view, it will be understood. And that’s what happened,” Ekta Kapoor is now on-board as presenter and pan-India distributor of the film. Filmmakers will release the trailer on July 28.
