Talking about why he acted in very less Telugu films, Amala Paul said “When I went to the Telugu industry, I realized that there was the Family concept. There the industry is very much dominated by these families and their fans. And the kind of films that they were making at that time was very different”

“There would always be two actresses and we would be there for the love scenes, songs and everything was very glamorous. They were very commercial films and I couldn’t connect much with that industry at that point of time so I did very few films there” said Amala Paul in the interview with Etimes.

In the interview, she also spoke about how she did not face similar struggles in Tamil film industry, despite being an outsider. “When I made my debut in Tamil film industry, filmmakers were exploring new comers. I had my set of struggles, a year went by in meetings and auditions. But from next year, I started getting offers. But then I did two films which never got released. And then my third film, Mynaa went on to become a blockbuster of sorts” the actress said.

“That made me a star overnight. So, then I started getting a lot of offers. because I had dne a very meaty role. I was accepted as a performer and I went on to work with all the A-listers soon enough” she added. On the work front, Amala Paul is expected to be seen in films such as “Adho Antha Paravai Pola”, “Aadujevitham”, “Christopher”, “Teacher” etc.
