Priyanka Chopra's Telugu Debut: A Case of Selective Amnesia?
7 Feb
Summary
- Priyanka Chopra seemingly forgot her Telugu film debut 'Thoofan'.
- She starred opposite Ram Charan in the 2013 Telugu film.
- A 'Thoofan' team member called her statement selective amnesia.
A recent interview with Priyanka Chopra has ignited a debate regarding her Telugu film debut. During a conversation about her upcoming film 'Varanasi', Chopra appeared unable to recall her prior work in Telugu cinema. This statement contradicts the fact that she previously starred in 'Thoofan' in 2013, a Telugu version of the Amitabh Bachchan classic 'Zanjeer', alongside Ram Charan.
The film 'Thoofan' featured Chopra as Ram Charan's love interest, a role she took when opportunities in Bollywood were limited. A member from the 'Thoofan' team expressed disappointment, describing Chopra's apparent forgetfulness as selective amnesia. They recalled signing her for the film when Bollywood opportunities were scarce, highlighting her eagerness at the time.
The current situation prompts questions about the promotional strategy for 'Varanasi'. Sources indicate that the 'Varanasi' team aims to present the film as Chopra's debut in Telugu cinema. This ambition, however, has led to scrutiny over its potential sacrifice of factual accuracy in the promotion of the film.
