South Actress Priyamani shares her experience working with Ajay and SRK in “Maidaan”
Notedly, Priyamani is a big stain the Indian film industry. Even as she had proved her mettle in the South Indian film industry, Bollywood is finally recognising her. With multiple movies in Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, and Malayalam, she finally stepped into the Hindi film industry with the action-adventure film Raavan.
Thereafter it was Ram Gopal Varma’s bilingual film Rakht Charitra 2. Very recently, she was seen in Article 370 and is all set for the release of Maidaan.
In the midst of an interview with the actress shared her experience working with Ajay Devgn in a sports drama.
As per Priyamani Ajay Devgn and Shah Rukh Khan speak with their eyes.
When asked how was it like sharing screen space with the senior star like Ajay Devgan, the actress opined, “Oh Phenomenal, that man, he is a different league altogether. Such a brilliant actor, he speaks so much with his eyes and she still remembers the time when they shot together. Whenever they shot emotional scenes, she remembers that he didn’t have much dialogue in them. But yet, he doesn’t have to speak. His eyes, his body language, and his expressions, speaks volumes. And she thinks how he has brought Rahim Saab to life, its brilliant.
In 2023, she also shared screen space with Shah Rukh Khan in the action-thriller Jawaan.
When said that he also is very expressive with his eyes, she said, “But they express it in a very different way.”
In 2007, she was honored with the National Film Award for Best Actress for her role in the Tamil film Paruthiveeran.
When quizzed about whether she now feels pressure to do better roles and films, she said that she is self-critical about her acting most of the time.
Sharing the reason behind it, the actress went on to add that it’s because when sees berself she thinks like she could have acted a scene a little better; and could have done this better because nobody is satisfied with their performance. You are always hungry to do better. But there was a responsibility that once she got the National award, she was clear in the choices of films she was doing. It could be a modern film; it could be a song and dance number for which she had to fly to Switzerland to shoot. She is saying that’s not wrong, but as long as the character had something to add to the movie, she was okay with it.
The sports drama Maidaan is written and directed by Amit Ravindernath Sharma and produced by Boney Kapoor and Zee Studios. It features apart Ajay Devgn and Priyamani and Gajraj Rao and Rudranil Ghosh.
The film, narrates the tale of renowned Indian football coach Syed Abdul Rahim, and is scheduled for theatrical release on April 10, 2024.
