Summary
- Actress Priyamani thrilled by regional films gaining nationwide acceptance
- OTT platforms allow her to explore diverse roles beyond typecasting
- Boundaries between South and Hindi film industries slowly disappearing

As of October 24th, 2025, acclaimed actress Priyamani is thrilled to witness the growing acceptance of South Indian cinema among audiences across the country. Priyamani, who has successfully balanced her work between the South film industry and OTT platforms, believes that the lines between regional and Hindi films are slowly blurring.
In a recent interview, Priyamani shared that OTT platforms have provided her with the opportunity to explore a wider range of roles, unlike the potential for typecasting in traditional cinema. "In one [web series], you could be the protagonist, in another, the antagonist; in something else, you could be playing a very important supporting character. You're just donning different hats. Whereas in movies, I'm not saying you can't, but the range may be limited when you're doing a film," she explained.
