actress Priyamani says South films often address political issues unlike B’wood

Priyamani recently shared her thoughts on the ability of South Indian film industries to address important social issues in their movies, in contrast to Bollywood.

Regardless of more than 20 days having passed since its release, Atlee Kumar directorial Jawan is showing no signs of slowing down.

After surpassing Rs 1,000-crore milestone globally, ‘Jawan’ is racing towards accomplishing the Rs 600-crore mark in the domestic market.

In the midst of the film continuing to garner widespread love and acclaim, actress Priyamani, who essays a key role in the film is overwhelmed as the film holds special significance for her.

Notedly,Jawan marks her second collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan after her appearance in a dance number in Rohit Shetty’s Chennai Express which starred SRK and Deepika Padukone in lead roles.

Emphasising that one doesn’t necessarily be involved in active politics to portray a message or reality, Priyamani makes it known that the film industries in the south have always been vocal over such subject matters.

With confidence the actress advocates that the issues addressed in Jawan, including farmers’ suicides, the importance of doctors, and the oxygen tragedy, have happened in real life.

Priyamani also noted that the film’s resonance with the audiences was due to its willingness to address these topics, which people frequently encounter, stating, “It was high time that somebody spoke about them.”

Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan is just not what we deserve, but the film we need right now.

Hailing from Bengaluru in Karnataka with roots in Tamil Nadu and Kerala as well, Priyamani proudly commended the southern film industries, noting that the films being produced here have always touched upon a lot of subjects and added they continue to be a part of the storytelling process.

It is her wild guess people up North have also faced such issues, but they were not open enough to talk about it,” she said, adding that she hoped Jawan would encourage them to express their concerns more eloquently.
