Overview

  • A year-old video shows Jyotika saying women in South Indian films do not get much importance, including on posters, while praising Mammootty and Ajay Devgn for giving women prominence.
  • The clip went viral in late August, prompting critical posts from users who said her comment unfairly generalized South Indian cinema.
  • Several users on X shared collages of Tamil posters prominently featuring Jyotika, citing titles such as Chandramukhi and Kaakha Kaakha to counter her claim.
  • Critics accused her of inconsistency and used strong language in posts, with some referencing her long career in Tamil films and her public profile.
  • Recent coverage from PinkVilla, News18 and Hindustan Times notes the online backlash and context from the older press event, with no new response from Jyotika reported.
