But, every lady has big story about why they chose that path to become a dancer. They would have taken up work for their family to provide economic stability for their family and they will not hesitate to wear revealing dresses, they don't mind if it's sunny, raining or even if they do not have footwear. Everybody is very judgemental and brand women dancers of cinema negatively and I know their stories as I travel with them and I wanted to show their struggle in a movie.
