role of Lavanya, wife of Nograj (Danish Sait). This film is a political satire. In a conversation with newsX she said that comedy industry is still peaking and hence it is still a community rather than an industry. She also feels that for comedy, social media and live shows are equally important and cannot replace each other. Stand on feminism In India, where stand-up comedy shows are generally dominated by men, In August 2018, Sumukhi narrated a masturbation manual for women and emancipation prominently featured the name of Hrithik Roshan as an object of female fantasy. Sumukhi is known as one of the very few successful female stand-up comedians. However, Sumukhi has spoken against the tag. In an interview with Verve magazine, she was quoted as saying, She launched the content platform 'Motormouth' with an aim to create more space for female entertainers. She also said, "when I am saying 'voice', it does not have to be a protest or social messaging all the time; it can just be fun! While talking about her vision for 'Motormouth' she says , "If we wish to change the narrative then we need to be in positions of power. I want to change culture by creating more female protagonists. I want to tell stories with real, flawed characters who are not just hot and sexy, sati Savitri, vamp, or any one of these things. Real women, and people in general are a hundred things at the same time at any given point and I want our content to reflect that." Although she feels responsible for explaining, educating and clearing the misunderstandings about feminism, she also thinks it is important to distinguish feminism from privilege. She said, "There are a lot of things female comedians must ask themselves before crying sexism." Filmfare winner Sumukhi Suresh said,"I want the people who see me, especially the girls, to think, ‘I need to have confidence like her’, because I wanted to see someone like that when I was young."
