This month marks the actor Ananya Panday’s half-decade mark in the motion picture business. She made her acting debut in Student of the Year 2. She appears to be still having trouble getting accepted by the public, though, as they keep discounting her acting abilities in movie after movie. Despite a few above average performances in films like Gehraiyaan, Dream Girl 2, and Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, Ananya has yet to feature in a film that would allow her to establish herself as a stand-alone artist and garner critical acclaim for her acting skills.
What, then, is preventing her from winning the audience’s affection and respect? Trade Insiders say that’s the image she’s created both on and off screen.
Producer and industry expert Girish Johar remarks on Panday’s movie preferences, pointing out that she is not willing to take chances. She must choose the appropriate films and align herself with the appropriate projects in terms of events and endorsements. It’s not required that you collaborate with well-known actors or directors. “Who is preventing her from investigating novel concepts under the guidance of inexperienced directors?” he queries.
He says that Panday needs to venture outside of her comfort zone and cites actors who have succeeded by attempting a variety of roles. “So many talented people have worked on their own independently on projects, whether they are smaller releases or independent films, and they have proven themselves by going the hard way. I would advise Ananya to do the same instead of focusing only on working with well-known celebrities. She is in a comfortable enough position in this business to at least try a variety of things; who knows, maybe one of them will work and she’ll regain her footing,” Johar adds.
Ananya is being trolled in her most recent Instagram post:
Following his stunning debut in SOTY 2, Panday starred in the commercial potboiler Pati Patni Aur Woh, which also starred Bhumi Pednekar and Kartik Aaryan. However, the movie was a box office bust. At the height of the pandemic, she released Khaali Peeli digitally, but it was not well received. Following an empty 2021, Panday experimented with a more mature theme of extramarital affairs with Gehraiyaan. However, the film received extremely negative reviews, largely overshadowing Panday’s performance on screen with Deepika Padukone and Siddhant Chaturvedi.
Panday teamed up with Telugu actor Vijay Deverakonda for one of the most anticipated films of 2022, Liger, which had the potential to make her a household name throughout India and mark her major screen debut in the South. Unfortunately, though, Panday’s character was cruelly ridiculed and trolled in addition to the movie’s disastrous box office performance, which brought in a meagre 48.58 crore.
Trade expert Ramesh Bala, who is based in Chennai, provides insight into Panday’s experiences, especially in the South Indian film industry, which will soon feature stars like Janhvi Kapoor and Shanaya Kapoor, among others.
“Liger was an enormous failure and was ineffective. Ananya’s character lacked strength and was poorly written. It was funny in an unintentional way, the way she was playing a stereotypical heroine. Ladies hardly ever get an opportunity to establish themselves as performers in commercial films dominated by the male lead, as was the case with Ananya, according to Bala, who also notes that poorly written characters also double up in the trolling department. Liger was of no assistance at all. She will need some time to recover in the South.”
Although Panday still has a lot to learn about acting, industry insiders strongly believe that she needs to address her personal life as well, as it has been impeding her progress in the industry.
Everything that To gain audience acceptance, the actor must, according to an industry insider, concentrate on both her on- and off-screen persona. According to a trade expert who requested anonymity, Panday needs to exercise extreme caution when it comes to her branding.
It is crucial to pay close attention to your brand and how you portray yourself. People don’t take Ananya seriously; they just troll her. The source emphasises that for an actor, it all comes down to winning over the audience. “Everyone knows that she needs to hone her talent more, and that she gets favours from a certain lobby of people, that’s why she is getting the work that comes her way,” the insider says.
Speaking of Ananya, how far can one push a child star and exert pressure on viewers? You can only go so far in the industry with the support of a certain group of people. After that, talent is required to advance. Talking without talent or being preoccupied with vacation activities that make you look like a meme is not serious. The insider continues, “Her branding is not becoming established.
