Priya Prakash Varrier: I Have Never Tried To Rob Noorin's Opportunities

Oru Adaar Love's producers have been blamed for purposely sidelining Noorin Shereef to promote Priya Prakash Varrier, who became phenomenon only after a night. Recently, Priya has raised her voice about the claims.

Reportedly, Priya became a phenomenon thanks to the promotion of the theme song in Oru Adaar Love last year.

After the promotion, Oru Adaar Love drew much attention of the netizens and was claimed to be the most awaited movie of the Malayalam film industry. Nonetheless, the film received negative reaction only after hitting the box offices. The film critics even claimed that Oru Adaar Love was just a mediocre in the theatre.

At the time, Oru Adaar Love's director Omar Lulu stated that everything in his initial plans was changed according to the demand of the producers. They force Omar to change the storyline and highlight the 'wink girl' Priya Prakash Varrier. There must be a gap between the producers and the director of the movie.

Recently, during an interview with a local media house, Priya has raised her voice to deny all the claims.

She expressed: "What is being said on social media isn't true at all. There is no truth in the allegation that my character was given undue importance in the movie after the song Manikya Malaraya Poovi became a hit. Like every other artist, I too was given more screen time after the director got impressed with my performance. Unlike what is said, the script wasn't rewritten for my sake after the song came out. Noorin wasn't sidelined in the movie just to give me prominence. Noorin was greatly attached to this movie. She had lots of hopes about it. Maybe she was upset realizing that she would have to share screen space with me in the movie. Even if she has any issue with me, it must be solely because of this reason."

Notably, the actor stated that she "never tried to rob anyone of others' opportunities."

Previously, Noorin Shereef revealed that her role was sidelined when Priya received more attention. "I was actually very happy when Omar Lulu selected me as the heroine of the movie. But as Priya Prakash Varrier's wink went viral, makers changed the entire storyline, and my character was a bit sidelined. I actually felt very disappointed when my character lost its importance as this was my first offer to act in the lead role," Noorin said.
