Priyan defends southern talents [Sunday, August 29, 2010]
Though director Priyadarsan enjoys a good repute in bollywood, not even he is free from the criticism of the industry peers. The latest buzz is that the big shots in b-wood are quite upset about Priyan roping in south indian actors for his movies. Complaints were lashed against his decision to rope in Mohanlal from mollywood for the his latest flick 'The Bullet Train'. According to Priyan, the flick will have Mohanlal donning a pivotal role with actors Anil Kapoor and Ajay Devagan. His earlier act of bringing in Trisha through Khatta Metha was also condemned. However, the director clarified his stand to the industry and said that he will bring in the best actors for his movies, be it from north or south. Hopefully, the B-wood dreams of many south indian actors are retained, atleast till Priyan succumbs to pressure.
