Actress Shanthi Priya has recently came forward to support her film Bad Girl amidst controversy surrounding accusations made by director Mohan G. In his long tweet Mohan claimed that the film is maligning the Tamil community, He wrote “Portraying a brahmin girl personal life is always a bold and refreshing film for this clan. What more can be expected from vetrimaran, Anurag kasyap & Co.. Bashing Brahmin father and mother is old and not trendy.. Try with your own caste girls and showcase it to your own family first”
Shanthi Priya DEFENDS Bad Girl after director Mohan G accused “Anurag Kashyap & Co” of “Brahmin bashing” in film: “Intention is not to offend but spark a conversation”
In her defense, Shanthi Priya emphasized the importance of artistic expression and the role of cinema in reflecting societal issues. She stated that Bad Girl is a narrative that aims to shed light on pressing topics rather than targeting any specific community. The actress believes that films should encourage dialogue and provoke thought, rather than be viewed as harmful or derogatory.
She slammed Mohan’s claims and wrote “Art is a medium of expression, and cinema often reflects the complexities of society, relationships, and identities. Films like these aim to break stereotypes and shed light on unexplored narratives, often challenging societal norms across all communities, not just one. Portraying the life of a Brahmin girl (or anyone from a particular community) is not about “bashing” but about storytelling—presenting raw, authentic characters that represent reality.
She also lauded the story telling of the makers and supported their thought process further, She adds “Vetrimaaran and Anurag Kashyap are known for their bold and unflinching take on social themes, tackling inequalities and uncomfortable truths. Their intention is not to offend, but to spark conversation and encourage audiences to reflect on the intricacies of life and tradition. Art doesn’t have to align with everyone’s comfort zone—it is meant to provoke thought and promote empathy for experiences beyond our own. Rather than perceiving such stories as an attack, they can be seen as an opportunity for introspection and understanding. Every community has its challenges, and showcasing them in cinema adds to its richness and relevance”
