Priya Bhavani Shankar Responds to Criticism Over Indian 2
Priya Bhavani Shankar recently spoke up regarding the backlash she received for her role in the movie Indian 2, directed by Shankar and starring Kamal Haasan. The film was highly anticipated but faced a disappointing response at the box office.
Since its theatrical release, Indian 2 has been criticized and has struggled to connect with audiences. Following its struggles, many fans began to unjustly blame Priya for the film’s performance, sparking a wave of negative comments on social media.
In response to the criticism, Priya expressed her sadness but also pride in being part of Indian 2. She firmly believes that it is wrong to single out one person for a movie’s failure. According to her, everyone involved in a film works hard with the hope of creating something successful.
Priya shared that this was the first time she was a part of such a big project, and despite the outcome, she feels honored to have worked on it. She also pointed out that she had received numerous offers for other films after signing on for Indian 2, indicating her growing popularity in the industry.
She specifically mentioned her previous success in the film Kadaikutty Singam, but noted that it is always challenging to balance expectations when one is a part of larger films. Priya emphasized that it’s essential to remember that the market ultimately determines a film’s success or failure.
As the conversation moved forward, she reiterated, ‘We all work very hard hoping that our films will succeed. When a film doesn’t do well, it affects everyone.’ She ended on a positive note, highlighting the pride and joy she feels to have been part of a major film, regardless of its performance.
