Renowned actress Jyotika, who is currently busy with the promotion of the much-awaited biopic ‘Srikanth’ alongside Rajkummar Rao and Alaya Fmade her comeback after 25 years with ‘Shaitaan’ opposite Ajay Devgn and R Madhavan in March 2024. The film received mixed reviews from both reviewers and viewers. Fans were overjoyed to see her return to Hindi cinema, even with the unfavourable critiques.Jyotika recently disclosed her reasons for taking a break from Bollywood.
While addressing the same, Jyotika spilt the beans on not working in Bollywood. During a conversation with News18, she said “I didn’t receive an offer for Hindi films even once. I drifted into South films 27 years ago and have only worked in South films ever since. My first Hindi film didn’t run well in theatres. It’s all very formula-based. Your first film needs to run for you to get more offers. When I started my career, there was an entire bandwagon of girls working with big production houses. Even my film was produced by a big banner but as fate would have it, it didn’t run. Luckily, I had signed a south film and diverted from Bollywood.”
Jyotika continued by saying that she didn’t give up on doing Bollywood films. She stated, “I would also like to bring it to notice that even that film didn’t work at the box office. But I got a lot of films based on how my performance in it was received. That stark difference between both industries was definitely there. People in Bollywood also thought that I was a South Indian and they assumed that I didn’t want to do Hindi films anymore. It was a journey and I’m still grateful for it. I did some fabulous work there. It’s not like I refrained from doing a Hindi film. It’s just that I wasn’t offered any script in so many years,” she concluded.
‘Srikanth‘, which is all set to hit the theatres on May 10, is produced by T-Series and Chalk N Cheese Films Production LLP. The film is directed by Tushar Hiranandani and written by Jagdeep Sidhu and Sumit Purohit. Apart from Rajkummar Rao, the film also stars Jyotika, Alaya F and Sharad Kelkar in the lead roles.
RajKummar will be seen essaying the life of Srikanth Bolla in the film. The film centres on the inspirational journey of industrialist Srikanth Bholla, who founded Bollant Industries despite having a visual impairment. The film is all set to arrive in cinemas on May 10 (Friday).
