Facing Criticism and Trolling
In an interview, Priya Bhavani Shankar expressed her hurt and frustration over being blamed by a section of the internet for the film's failure.

Defending Her Film Choices
The actress defended her decision to be part of 'Indian 2', stressing that no actress would turn down a role in a major project featuring such prominent names. She acknowledged the disappointment of the film's failure but reiterated that she does not regret her choice and would apologize to the audience for not meeting their expectations.
Priya Bhavani Shankar also discussed her upcoming projects, including 'Demonte Colony 2', which was set to release on August 15. She is also gearing up for another film, 'Black', a sci-fi thriller where she stars alongside Jiiva, directed by debutant Balasubramani KG.
Personal and Professional Updates
On a personal note, Priya Bhavani Shankar shared that she is planning to get married to her boyfriend Rajvel in 2025, after completing her current professional commitments. Her busy schedule includes several film releases in 2023 and 2024, showcasing her prolific career in the industry.
Despite the challenges and criticisms, Priya Bhavani Shankar remains committed to her craft and continues to be a significant figure in the South Indian film industry, known for her versatile roles in films like 'Meyadha Maan', 'Kadaikutty Singam', 'Monster', 'Dhootha', and 'Thiruchitrambalam'.
