The much-anticipated sequel Indian 2, starring Kamal Haasan and directed by Shankar, has unfortunately failed to meet expectations at the box office. Despite the high hopes pinned on the film, it struggled to make even a decent opening, with lackluster word of mouth and mixed reviews quickly derailing its momentum. Disappointed fans have taken to social media to express their frustration, targeting not just the film but also the actors involved. Among those facing the brunt of these online trolls is actress Priya Bhavani Shankar, who played a role in the film.
In a recent interview, Priya Bhavani Shankar addressed the negative reactions surrounding Indian 2 and the criticism aimed at her for choosing to be part of the project. Despite the backlash, she remained resolute in her decision, expressing that she has no regrets about taking on the role. “No actress would reject a role when it was offered in a Kamal Haasan and Shankar film,” she explained. Priya acknowledged that while the film did not meet expectations, the opportunity to work with such iconic figures in Indian cinema was not something she would ever pass up. She expressed her disappointment that the film could not satisfy audiences, but maintained pride in her work.
Priya Bhavani Shankar has been making strides in both Kollywood and Tollywood, trying to carve out a niche for herself by taking on diverse roles. Earlier, she made her debut in Tollywood with Kalyanam Kamaneeyam and followed it up by working alongside Gopichand in Bhimaa. Unfortunately, both films did not perform well at the box office, despite Priya receiving recognition for her screen presence and acting. The actress seems determined to rise above the criticism and continue her journey in the film industry, undeterred by setbacks.
