My idea really is, that there can be a dialogue about the issue. I didn't make the film to shock somebody. It is a film about loneliness. It is a film about the hypocrisy of our society today. It is a film about how women don't have choices in a patriarchal set-up.
Fire is about a lack of choices.
Every character in the film, whether male or female, is a victim of society's rules and regulations. I keep trying to explain that to the point that I've lost my voice saying it. But even then people keep talking only about the lesbian aspect of it. And what they are doing is diminishing the film by looking at just one area of the film. I'm not saying it's not there in the film.
