Saturday, 14th May 2016, 3:29 PM IST Omung Kumar made his directorial debut with a woman-centric film like ‘Mary Kom’ which starred Priyanka Chopra in the lead role. And now, he is gearing up for the release of ‘Sarbjit’ which stars Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the lead role and is a female-oriented film. Omung recently spoke why he opted to start his directorial career with a woman-centric flick. He said, "It's not that I have purposely been taking up women-oriented scripts; but yes, first one 'Mary Kom' was, because I wanted to break the clutter. Actors were taking so much time to give me dates, so I said, 'Forget it, I'm going to do a female-oriented film'." "But here ('Sarbjit') the change was that the script came to me. It's not that it is an Aishwarya Rai film, that's why I am doing it or because it is female-oriented. It so happened that it was the struggle of a family but from the point of view of a sister, so that made it female-oriented, not that my third is also female-oriented," the director added.
