Ratan on why she declined offers from South film industry

The actress shared that she used to get a lot of calls for South films industry from very good directors. They told her to gain weight because she was thin. They asked Ratan if she knew the norms of the South industry which everyone knows about. When she asked them to elaborate on the same, they said ‘It’s very common here to compromise. Director, producer, lead actor and maybe DOP.’ The actress clearly rejected their offers. She mentioned that we say all this happens in Bollywood only. But the reality is it happens in the South film industry also.

Ratan further disclosed that she hasn’t received a single call from the South industry where she has not been told to ‘compromise’. Sometimes they don’t mention DOP but lead actor, producer, and director these three are always there.
