Jyothika, who recently moved from Chennai to Mumbai with her children, has sparked controversy by saying that female leads in South Indian cinema were mostly limited to dancing and praising male protagonists.

The actress’ remarks, made during an interview about the Netflix series Dabba Cartel, have angered fans, who reminded her of blockbusters like Chandramukhi, Sillunu Oru Kaadhal and Kushi, where she played strong characters. Many social media users also accused her of disrespecting the industry that made her a superstar.
