“Thank God I do films with a majority of women,” he exclaims. During my career, I mainly worked with Warner Bros. Studios. We were very confident at the international box office. Internationally best selling films are “masculine” films and I fell into this trap. It gives me pleasure to make such a film Madam Webb With very strong female characters.”
