Kalyani Priyadarshan, the daughter of director Priyadarshan, is well established in Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam cinema, and soon to start in Bollywood as well. Her father has never interfered with her establishing herself in the Bollywood fraternity at the very beginning of her career. He says, ‘She knows precisely what she needs, and what she doesn’t. And she certainly doesn’t need me to launch her. When Kalyani chose to be an on-screen character she had one ground rule for herself: She won’t be recognized or launched by her father.’
The news made Priyadarshan exceptionally happy. ‘I could have made a dozen movies for her, given her the limelight in her style, within the South. But she chose to make her own path and establish her career in her own way. The Telugu film Hello was delivered by Nagarjuna and highlighting his child Akhil Akkineni with Kalyani,’ he said to a news portal.

Priyadarshan will not play any part or role in advancing his daughter’s career in Hindi as well. ‘She wants to begin her journey in her own way, working with a production house that is based out of South. And I respect and accept that. She believes, ‘achievement and success along with excellence in work, come without any secondary support from the family, acquaintance or any contacts. And I agree,’ he said.
