Priyamani, who made Bollywood debut with One Two Three Four in Chennai Express, says ‘no point doing dance numbers’

National Award-winning actor Priyamani talks about her Hindi projects, insisting that though she made her debut with a special song, she is not interested in doing dance numbers alone.

Actor Priyamani made her Bollywood debut with dance number One Two Three Four for Chennai Express, but she agreed to it only because she got to dance with Shah Rukh Khan. Not interested in dance numbers anymore, Priyamani was recently seen in the Hindi webs series The Family Man in which she played Manoj Bajpayee’s wife.

Priyamani talks about her upcoming Hindi projects.

Priyamani told Mid Day in an interview, “I agreed to be part of the song because it gave me a chance to dance with Shah Rukh Khan. Post Chennai Express, I got several offers from Hindi cinema, but nothing substantial came my way. There was no point doing dance numbers.”

The actor was recently seen in another digital project, Ateet and will soon feature alongside Ajay Devgn in the sports based film Maidaan. ” I hope these projects will make Bollywood see me anew. I’m keeping my fingers crossed,” she told the tabloid.

Meanwhile, she has confirmed that she essays the role of a naxalite in Rana Daggubati’s upcoming Telugu political thriller Virataparvam 1992, which also stars Sai Pallavi. In her latest interview to Cinema Express, Priyamani opened up about her role in the film. “Yes, I am playing a naxalite. It’s going to be a different kind of film altogether. The only thing I can share at the moment is that it’s a true story,” Priyamani said. The film also stars Nandita Das in a crucial role.

Priyamani will also be seen in Venkatesh starrer Naarappa, the Telugu remake of Tamil film Asuran.
