However, the actress defends her version by saying she was unable to sign new projects due the Tollywood shut down. "What can I do when the film shooting got delayed abruptly. My film 'Kshetram' with Jagapathi Babu should have been completed a long time ago, but the Tollywood shut down affected it badly. It becomes tough for actors to sign new projects, as you are unsure about when the shooting of your current films get completed," . After unsuccessful Bollywood debut, Priyamani is still hopeful of being part of more Hindi films. "I'm looking forward to work in more Bollywood films. But, I can say that Bollywood is not my priority. I have been very choosy in selecting scripts and my roles," Priyamani told.
