Here’s post by Amyra Dastur:
When asked about the experience and how she is feeling while making her debut in the Punjabi industry opposite ‘Lancer’ fame Jassie Gill. For this, the actress said, "This conveys the message that we should not stereotype people from particular cultures. For example, actor Samantha Prabhu is set to break into the Hindi film industry. It is a significant step forward because we are becoming more accepting of people from various backgrounds.”
Further, she mentions the popularity of films like 'RRR' and 'KGF', saying, "This proves that it does not depend on the location or the language of a film; If it is a fantastic film, everyone will see it.”
This blurring of lines, she believes, also helps actors widen their horizons. "It opens up a lot of opportunities for us. There is a lot of work to be done. People are now willing to collaborate with someone from outside the region, such as myself, who does not speak Punjabi but is working on a Punjabi film," she added.
