In a conversation with Hindustan Times, the Family Man star shared her thoughts on the growing trend of labelling actors based on the industries they work in. Priyamani noted, “I think we should stop using the term pan-India. We’re all Indian at the end of the day. What is this pan-India? I don’t understand.

For years, actors from both sides have worked across languages. Why are we suddenly labelling people now?” Interestingly, she has worked extensively in multiple film industries including Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi. She also noted that actors like Kamal Haasan, Rajinikanth, Prakash Raj, Dhanush and more have worked in several industries. During the conversation, she emphasised that art should transcend language barriers. She pointed out that audiences should focus on performances and stories rather than categorising …
