Fans React to the Cameo

As the clip made rounds on Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and Reddit, fan reactions were divided. One user commented, “Was it racist to cast a Malayali actor as just an extra in a Kerala-based Bollywood film?”

Some suggested her role might have been trimmed during editing. One user remarked, “Editing can be ruthless, and character cuts are common. Only the bitter take pleasure in someone else's bad phase.” Several even argued that Priya should have played the lead instead, with comments like, “She would have been better for taking up Janhvi Kapoor's role.”

Priya Varrier’s Career 

Priya made her acting debut with Oru Adaar Love and quickly shot to national fame after her wink scene went viral. Since then, she has worked in Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi films.
