Priyadarshan's Doubts Over Daughter's Action Role
3 Sep
Summary
- Filmmaker Priyadarshan initially doubted his daughter's action scenes.
- Kalyani Priyadarshan's film 'Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra' was a hit.
- Priyadarshan later praised his daughter's performance after seeing the film.
Filmmaker Priyadarshan candidly shared his initial reservations regarding his daughter Kalyani Priyadarshan's lead role in the film 'Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra.' He expressed significant doubt, especially concerning the action sequences. Priyadarshan found it difficult to envision his daughter performing such stunts on screen.
However, his doubts were dispelled upon seeing the film's first cut. The screening completely altered his perception, leading him to acknowledge his underestimation of Kalyani's capabilities. This realization prompted him to adopt a hands-off approach, deciding not to inquire about her future projects.
Kalyani Priyadarshan's film, 'Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra,' achieved remarkable success, becoming a pan-Indian hit and the highest-grossing Malayalam film to date. This triumph further solidified Kalyani's position as a leading performer in the industry.
Priyadarshan, who previously stated he did not wish to direct Kalyani to maintain family separation, recently collaborated with her and her mother, Lissy, for a commercial. Meanwhile, Priyadarshan is preparing for his 98th directorial, 'Haiwaan,' set for release on September 11, 2026, while Kalyani is venturing into Hindi cinema with 'Pralay.'
