‘Just told my dad I’m a fan!’: Kalyani Priyadarshan gets Mithila Palkar’s ‘girl’s girl’ love
In an industry often defined by competition, moments of genuine support and sisterhood stand out, and Mithila Palkar’s latest note of gratitude is one such refreshing reminder.
As excitement builds around ‘Bhooth Bangla’, Palkar is taking a moment to look back at how the opportunity came her way, and at the person who made it possible.
The actor has openly credited Kalyani Priyadarshan for playing a key role in her casting in the much-anticipated film.
Taking to Instagram, Mithila shared a heartfelt video featuring director Priyadarshan and penned an emotional note about her journey into the film. What makes the story even more special is its simplicity, a recommendation born out of admiration.
“An opportunity I hadn't even imagined for myself,” Mithila wrote, setting the tone for what followed. She went on to thank Kalyani, adding, “So grateful to @kalyanipriyadarshan, without whom this idea wouldn't have been seeded! A girl's girl.”
The phrase perfectly captures the spirit of the moment, one woman rooting for another, not out of obligation, but out of genuine belief.
She didn’t hold back her appreciation for director Priyadarshan either, acknowledging the trust he placed in her.
“Priyan Sir, THANK YOU for the trust! I cannot tell you how priceless being part of your film universe feels! Eternally grateful!” she wrote, clearly overwhelmed by the opportunity.
The actor also turned her attention to the audience, thanking them for the warm response to the film’s trailer.
“So much love on the trailer! Uff! Thank you! Can’t wait for you all to watch the film,” she added, reflecting the infectious excitement surrounding the project.
Kalyani, however, was quick to downplay her role in the whole process. Responding to Mithila’s post, she wrote with characteristic humility, “Listen! All I told my dad was that I’m a fan! I didn’t do anything more. And I can’t wait to see you in the film!”
That exchange, simple, warm, and unfiltered, has struck a chord with fans, who are celebrating the camaraderie between the two actors.
In ‘Bhooth Bangla’, the 'Little Things' actor steps into a significant role as Akshay Kumar’s sister, marking a notable addition to her filmography.
The film itself carries a strong dose of nostalgia, reuniting Akshay Kumar with director Priyadarshan after 14 years, a collaboration that has previously delivered several memorable comedies.
Backed by Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor’s Balaji Motion Pictures along with Akshay Kumar’s Cape of Good Films, the film boasts a vibrant ensemble cast including Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi, Rajesh Sharma, and the late Asrani.
With paid previews set to begin on April 16 and a full theatrical release on April 17, ‘Bhooth Bangla’ is already riding high on anticipation, and thanks to Palkar’s heartfelt note, it now carries an extra layer of warmth and goodwill.
