I Couldn’t Connect Much With Telugu Industry As They Have Actresses For Love Scenes & Songs

Actress
Amala
Paul
has
had
a
fair
share
of
glamorous
roles
and
films
during
her
earlier
days
in
the
southern
film
industries.
She
worked
across
Telugu,
Tamil,
Kannada,
and
Malayalam
industries
over
a
decade.

The
actress,
post
her
separation
from
her
ex-husband
AL
Vijay,
has
focused
on
her
career
more
and
became
choosy
about
her
work.

Amala
Paul,
who
has
been
doing
characters
with
substance
for
a
while
now,
has
spoken
about
why
she
couldn’t
connect
with
Telugu
industry
in
a
recent
interview.

Amala
Paul
has
only
worked
in
about
four
films
in
Telugu
between
2011
and
2015
before
she
turned
down
offers.
Her
first
film
in
Telugu
was
Ram
Gopal
Varma’s
Bezawada
in
2011
with
Naga
Chaitanya.
Later,
she
starred
opposite
Ram
Charan
in
Nayak,
with
Allu
Arjun
in
Iddarammayilatho,
and
with
Nani
in
Jenda
Pai
Kapiraju.

Despite
the
films
performance,
the
actress
was
able
to
etch
a
place
in
the
minds
of
Telugu
audience.
However,
she
stayed
away
thereafter.

According
to
a
ETimes
report,
Amala
Paul
revealed
why
she
turned
her
back
on
the
Telugu
Film
Industry.
She
was
quoted
by
the
portal
as
saying,
“When
I
went
to
the
Tollywood
industry,
I
realised
that
there
was
a
family
concept.
The
industry
is
dominated
by
these
families
and
their
fans.
The
kind
of
films
they
were
making
at
that
point
of
time
was
very
different.
There
would
always
be
two
actresses
and
we’d
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.”

Amala,
who
has
been
doing
remarkable
work
during
her
second-innings
of
sorts,
however,
returned
to
Telugu
industry
with
a
significant
role
in
the
anthology
film
Pitta
Kathalu
opposite
Jagapathi
Babu
in
2021.
Her
latest
appearance
was
in
Cadaver,
a
Tamil
crime
thriller,
released
on
Disney+
Hotstar.
