Priyamani Opens Up On Working With Ajay Devgn and Shah Rukh Khan: 'Both Express With Their Eyes'

Priyamani enjoys a massive fan following. One of the finest actresses in Indian cinema, she has come a long way with rich content driven and commercial films. The actress has also worked alongside many talented actors, who have allowed her to shine as well. Speaking of which, she recently opened up on working with Ajay Devgn and Shah Rukh Khan.

While the actress is currently basking in the success of her recently released film Article 370, the actress is also awaiting the release of her next Bollywood film Maidaan. She would be seen sharing screen space with Ajay Devgn for the same. In an interview with Pinkvilla, the actress shared, that Ajay Devgn is ‘phenomenal’. “That man, he is a different league altogether. Such a brilliant actor, he speaks so much with his eyes. I still remember the times when we shot together.”

She further added, “Whenever we shot emotional scenes, I remember he didn’t have much dialogue in them. But yet, he doesn’t have to speak. His eyes, his body language, and his expressions, that speaks volumes. And I think how he has brought Rahim Saab to life I think is brilliant.”

Back in 2023, Priyamani also shared the screen space with Shah Rukh Khan for his hit film Jawan. When asked about working with him, the actress said that ‘he is also expressive with his eyes. “But they express it in a very different way.”

In the same interview, Priyamani also confessed that with time she has become self critical. Sharing the reason behind it, she told, “That’s because when I see myself, I think like I could have acted a scene a little better; I could have done this better because nobody is satisfied with their performance. You are always hungry to do better. But there was a responsibility that once the National Award was announced and I got the award, I was clear in the choices of films I was doing. It could be a modern film; it could be a song and dance number where I had to fly to Switzerland to shoot. I am saying that’s not wrong, but as long as the character had something to add to the movie, I was okay with it, which I am doing right now, and I am quite okay.”

Coming back to Maidaan, Priyamani and Ajay Devgn’s film is all set to release on April 10, 2024.
