Bollywood filmmakers have lately been exploring social taboos like menstruation, vasectomy, erectile dysfunction, but Yami Gautam said this trend of narrating stories in a quirky way started with her debut film "Vicky Donor" and felt happy that it was gaining momentum.
After bringing up on screen the issue of improving sanitation and eradication of open defecation in "Toilet: Ek Prem Katha", director Shree Narayan Singh's next film "Batti Gul Meter Chalu" revolves around a common man's fight against power distribution companies in India.
Shahid Kapoor will portray the role of a lawyer, who raises his voice against these organisations.
"The trend of realistic issue based films in a quirky, entertaining style started with 'Vicky Donor' and it is absolutely fantastic to see more movies coming up in this space."
