Is Nayanthara upset with ‘Jawan’ director Atlee? She might not do more Bollywood projects, says report

Nayanthara made her Bollywood debut with Atlee’s ‘Jawan’ in which she played Shah Rukh Khan’s love interest and left the audience and critics impressed with her performance.

While everyone assumed that the South sensation would be seen in more Bollywood projects, that might not be the case.

According to Hindustan Times, Nayanthara has not been happy post the release of ‘Jawan’.

‘She has been very upset with Atlee because her role was chopped in the film. Also, Deepika’s (Padukone) character was elevated and Nayantara’s part was significantly sidelined,’ a source told the publication.

Deepika Padukone made a special appearance in the action thriller.

‘It was not a cameo at all. Jawan was almost made to look like an SRK-Deepika film. Nayanthara is the leading actor down south, and hence, she was not happy with the treatment of Jawan. And that can be the reason why we might not see her in a Bollywood project, at least not anytime soon,’ the source added.

Is that why Nayanthara was not part of any of the promotions, before or after the release of the film? The sources clarified that Nayanthara never goes to film events. She follows a no-promotion policy for her films because of her bad experiences in the past when she was misquoted and because she feels that her job is to act and not get involved in promotional activities.

‘Jawan’ has breached the Rs 900 crore mark at the worldwide box office.
