'We should stop using the term pan-India actor'
	
		
				India, Oct. 31 -- Priya Mani Raj, who is set for the release of The Family Man Season 3 next month, has worked in both regional and Hindi industries, but is averse to the tag of "pan-India actor". Expressing her disapproval, she says, "We're all Indian at the end of the day. You get work in other industries, and that's a good thing, but you don't call someone a 'regional actor' when they come from Bollywood to the South. For years, actors from both sides have worked across languages. Why are we suddenly labelling them now? Accept us for who we are and for the characters we play."
Talking about the overanalysis and criticism of films today, the 41-year-old says, "People have become oversensitive. It's okay to have opinions, but don't overanalyse or try to influence others. Watch a film for what it is. So many people put in hard work, just appreciate that."
 The actor elaborates further, "Opinions are fine... but don't make it about red flags, green flags, Gen Z etc. It's just a film! It doesn't always have to be a reflection of today's world. The filmmaker has a vision, and the characters might resonate with you or might not, and that's okay too."
Reflecting on how times have changed, Priya Mani observed that with the rise of technology and social media, it has become easier for people to express their opinions, which comes with both pros and cons. "You're more than welcome to express your point of view, but don't try to influence other people's opinions. Someone might actually like the film, even if you didn't. At the end of the day, hundreds of people work hard to bring a project to life. You don't have to be oversensitive about everything," she ends....
