Kamalinee Mukherjee on why she quit Tollywood. Kamalinee Mukherjee captured the imagination of all with her performances in films like Godavari, Anand and Gamyam. However she silently disappeared from Tollywood much to the disappointment of all her fans.
Now, speaking to scribes, she shared the real reason behind her decision. She said she was hurt with the way her character was portrayed in Ram Charan's Govindudu Andarivadele. She said “Not because of the crew. Because all my co-actors and people on the set were very amazing and supportive. I just wasn’t very comfortable about how my role in the film turned out. So, it wasn’t anything contentious. It wasn’t like a fight or something. I just stepped back from Telugu films after that for a while because I felt hurt. I felt hurt about the way it (her role) turned out.”
She added “Sometimes you think that this is your scene. And this is the best thing. Then, when you go back and watch, the director realises it didn’t come out the way you did, or it doesn’t have the impact it’s supposed to. And we are not made aware of those things. But the way I felt was very personal to me and that kind of hurt me. I thought I needed to step back from Telugu films and maybe try other languages.”
