Asked if she feels men have better roles in the industry, she added: “I don’t think it’s about men or women having better roles. It’s just that we stereotype men and women in their respective roles.” The Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara actress will next be seen in a film titled Waiting. It is directed by Anu Menon and co-produced by Ishka Films and Drishyam Films. Kalki will be seen sharing screen space with veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah. Waiting, which also features Suhasini Ratnam, Rajat Kapoor and Arjun Mathur, is set to release on 13 May.
