Actor Priyamani says that she doesn’t want to associate herself with sexual content in the webspace
The National award-winning actor Priyamani, who stars in the web series — The Family Man along with Manoj Bajpayee, said that she avoids intimate scenes because such content is not suitable for a family audience.
“I don’t want to associate myself with sexual content in the webspace. I understand that as an actor I should be comfortable with different characters. I am also not degrading those actors who are part of stories that require intimate scenes, but as an actor, I wouldn’t be doing any intimidating scene because I am not comfortable with it,” Priyamani said.
The web series tells the story of a middle-aged, middle-class man who is on a mission to achieve something extraordinary in order to protect the country. Priyamani plays the role of his wife.
Sharing the insight of her character in the show, the celebrated south Indian actor said, “My character Suchitra is a housewife who is constantly trying to balance everything in her life. She changes role from mother to father in the absence of her husband and spends quality time with them. I think women have the natural ability to do multi-tasking. She is the boss of the house but at the same time she has the desire to explore new opportunity as a professional.”
She added Suchitra is not aware about the profession of her husband. She often misunderstood him and his work. However, as the series moves forward one can see that she discovers more about him.
Priyamani commenced her career in 2003 with a Tamil film, Ullam. She has also done films like — Paruthiveeran, Thirakkatha, Mana Oori, Ramayanam and many more.
The actor is interested in exploring more opportunities in Hindi cinema. And she hopes that the show will help her gain offers. But, simultaneously she mentioned that she won’t wear a bikini like other mainstream actors.
“When I wore a swimsuit for the first time in one of my films, I received flak from people. They asked if I was trying to build a glamourous image. In south India, a major chunk of audience is traditional. They are not the Bollywood cinegoers. Having said that I applaud those girls who have the confidence to flaunt their skin gracefully on the screen,” said she.
The Family Man is directed by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK. The show also features Sharib Hashmi, Darshan Kumar, Gul Panag, Dalip Tahil among others.
