Priyamani reveals why she is not offered films opposite A-listers

During her interaction, Priyamani was asked the reason behind not working with top Tamil and Telugu actors. She said, “I have also wondered why I was not cast alongside A-listers. I think the question is still unanswered. It should be asked to the directors and producers.”

“In all honesty, I am not trying to find fault with anybody, but I have heard from a lot of people that they don’t want to cast me opposite them or along with them or in the film because probably of the fact that ‘I might eat them up’. This is the thing I have been hearing. I know it is not true, but I still don’t know what the exact reason is. But that’s okay. Whatever the reason is, I am absolutely fine. I am very happy and content with where I am.”
