Actor Amala Paul has responded to the criticism over her choice of dress.
For the promotions of her upcoming Malayalam film Level Cross, held recently at St Albert’s College in Kochi, the actor wore a Black mini dress. This attracted criticism from netizens and trolls over her dressing style, particularly while visiting a college.
Addressing the issue, Amala Paul said she wore what she was comfortable in and stressed that the students had no qualms about her choice of dress.
She also pointed out that the problem was with how the cameras projected her dressing style. “I wore what was comfortable for me. My dress was certainly ‘not inappropriate’ for the function. What was probably inappropriate was the way the cameras projected my attire. I have no control over that,” she added.
Further, Amala Paul asserted that it was more important to be comfortable in one’s skin and that she wears all types of clothing—traditional and Western.
The actor added that by wearing that (mini) dress, she “wanted to instil confidence among students regarding their choice of dressing”.
Meanwhile, the intriguing trailer of Level Cross, launched recently by the makers, caught the fancy of fans and cineastes. The trailer featured Asif Ali, Amala Paul, and Sharaf U Dheen dealing with difficult situations.
In the movie, Amala Paul plays the role of a psychiatrist. Asif Ali underwent a makeover for his character of a railway gateman in a no man’s land.
Level Cross is written and directed by debutant Arfaz Ayub. The dialogues were penned by his father Adam Ayub. The film is slated for release on 26 July.
Amala Paul gave birth to a baby boy last month. She was last seen in Aadujeevitham (The Goat Life), which starred Prithviraj Sukumaran in the lead role. The blockbuster hit film is now streaming on Netflix. She was also part of Mammootty’s Christopher (2023), an average grosser.
On the other hand, Asif Ali’s next, Adios Amigo, alongside Suraj Venjaramoodu will hit the screens on 2 August. The film marks the debut of director Nahaz Nazar. It was written by Thankam. The trailer, launched recently, promised a hilarious ride to the audience.
