Priyamani showers praises on Samantha and Nayanthara

Priyamani has proven herself to be a powerhouse of talent. She had already carved her niche as a strong woman down south, and now due to her amazing performance in The Family Man and His Storyy, she is being praised in Bollywood also.

In a recent interview, Priyamani talked about how actresses’ roles have changed in movies over the years. “Definitely things have changed for the good. I think gone are the days when the heroine was just as glamour quotient, and by glamour quotient, I don't mean only wearing short clothes. I mean, not just being a romantic lead opposite the big hero, which is also there, but I think somewhere down the line, the character roles have changed wherein the heroine is also given importance in the movie. As in, she is not just a pretty face, but there is mettle for her to do in the film as well.”

Praising actresses like Nayanthara and Samantha, she said, “There are so many people who have taken over the world. Nowadays, there are so many heroine-oriented projects where the heroine is the hero and she carries the entire film on her shoulder. For example, how Samantha did in Oh Baby (2019) or Nayanthara, who is doing pretty well. On one hand, she is dabbling in both normal commercial cinema, where she is paired opposite Rajinikanth Sir or paired opposite Vijay, and on the other hand, she is doing movies like Netrikarann (2021), Maya (2015), and such wonderful projects.”

Priyamani also shared her opinion on Samantha’s sizzling dance number “Oo Antava” from the film Pushpa: The Rise (2021). “I think Samantha looked hot in the song and not just me, even my husband found her hot. In Sam's whole career, she has not done anything like this. Kudos to her for taking it and accepting it gracefully.”
