Nayanthara upset with Jawan director Atlee for cutting down her role – Reports

One of the leading ladies of Jawan, Nayanthara is reportedly unhappy with film director, Atlee for cutting down her role. She is also unhappy with Deepika Padukone’s role being elevated although the Pathaan actress played a cameo in the film

“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 tells Hindustan Times.

The sources added that the makers made it look like an SRK-Deepika film. Nayanthara is a leading actress in the southern parts of India as mentioned by the sources.

“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,” adds the source, adding, “And that can never well be the reason why we might not see her in a Bollywood project, at least not anytime soon.”

Nayanthara follows a no-promotion policy: Sources

The leading actress didn’t go for film promotion activities during Jawan’s promotion. She is said to have poor experiences in the past for taking such decision.

“Nayanthara never goes to the films 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 the promotional activities.”

“Surely she is being appreciated, but there are no open discussions about any other Bollywood project as yet. As far as possibility of her taking over Bollywood space is concerned, we are not sure about that too,” a source explains, adding “The reason is that she is almost 40 and has crossed the age bracket that Bollywood has created. So, here in Bollywood, she can play character roles that justifies her age. In Jawan, she worked well because she was cast opposite Shah Rukh, who is a good match for her.”
