This star kid made her debut in a big production house’s popular rom-com franchise. Initially, she was trolled for her acting, accent, and her personality. However, in the last few years, she has been doing roles that suit her persona and managed to cast a spell on the audiences. Recently, her father revealed that his daughter was not comfortable doing one of the movies she was roped in for. It was a big-budget film that was a super flop at the box office.
The movie also featured a popular South star in the lead role. When the announcement was made, everyone was excited to see his Hindi movie debut. However, the film left everyone disappointed. So who is this star kid who was not comfortable doing the film? We would like to inform you all that the actress is Ananya Panday. The movie we are talking about is Liger, which stars Vijay Deverakonda in the lead role.
In an interview, Ananya Panday’s father and actor Chunky Pandey revealed why his daughter was uncomfortable. As reported by Indian Express, Chunky said, “When she asked me if she she should do this film… she was thinking that she was too young for it. She said ‘Papa, I am too young to do this.’ I said you do this, it’s a commercial, big film but maybe she was right. She was too young to do it. She was uncomfortable. She said maybe, I am too young for this. She was confused then.”
The Housefull actor revealed that after Liger, he never influenced Ananya into making any decisions. Panday added, “From that day on, I never put any pressure on her. Maybe I was wrong. I am old school. I don’t know anything else. If she had asked me ‘Papa, should I do Bae?’ I would have said no.”
Meanwhile, Liger was helmed by Puri Jagannadh and produced by Karan Johar. Made on a budget of at least Rs 125 crore, it earned only Rs 60 crore approximately at the box office.
