Priyamani dissects the North-South divide

Only a few days ago she heaped praise on Ajay Devgn but it seems National Award-winning actress Priyamani is not impressed with everything about Bollywood. During a recent interview with an entertainment portal, the popular actress claimed that in many Bollywood movies, people from South have been shown as someone who speaks Hindi with a unique accent.

The seasoned actress shared that earlier divas from the south such as Sridevi, Rekha, Hema Malini and Vyjayanthimala used to rule Bollywood but then it all stopped.

According to her, the representation of South Indians in Bollywood films became restricted to those who used to not speak Hindi in the normal way, for instance - ‘Aiyo, kaisa ji, kya bolta ji’- like that.

However, Priyamani is now happy to see that such kind of a portrayal is changing. According to her, this trend changed when Bollywood started to rope in South technicians and as a result soon South Indian technicians flooded the Hindi film industry and made a name for them quickly.

Now as the southern content is gaining popularity among the Bollywood audience the popular actress says it’s great to see South talent getting recognition in Bollywood and South stars are also receiving the love they deserve.

Meanwhile, Priyamani who has a praiseworthy filmography in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada movies will be seen as Ajay Devgn’s onscreen wife in Amit Sharma’s biographical sports film ‘Maidaan’. In the film, based on the golden era of Indian football (1952 - 1962), Ajay plays legendary Indian football coach Syed Abdul Rahim. Down South, she is also waiting for the release of ‘Virata Parvam’. —ETimes
