Sundeep Kishan Defends Co-Stars from Scrutiny
18 Sep
Summary
- Actors shouldn't be constantly questioned about success ratios.
- Faria Abdullah's achievements at 25 were highlighted by Kishan.
- Telugu actors face scrutiny when achieving success outside the industry.
Actor Sundeep Kishan has voiced strong opposition to the relentless scrutiny young actors face concerning their box-office performance and career trajectories. During promotions for his film 'Sigma', Kishan defended co-star Faria Abdullah, who was questioned about her success ratio despite having achieved considerable milestones by age 25, including career successes and personal financial stability.
Kishan drew parallels to another incident where actress Anaswara Rajan was compared to her friend Mamitha Baiju, arguing that such comparisons disregard individual artistic journeys. He stressed that performers should be allowed to celebrate their achievements rather than enduring persistent questioning about why their careers differ from others.
The actor further expanded the discussion to the perception of Telugu talent internationally. He observed that while promoting 'Sigma' in Tamil Nadu, he did not face questions about his casting, unlike during promotions within Telugu regions. He believes that when individuals succeed outside their immediate industry, it should be a cause for collective pride rather than being diluted by critical inquiries.
Kishan cited major successes like 'Baahubali' and 'Pushpa' as examples where even significant films can encounter doubts. 'Sigma', featuring Sundeep Kishan, Faria Abdullah, and Anaswara Rajan, is slated for a theatrical release on October 2, marking Jason Sanjay's directorial debut.
