Preity Mukhundhan is on the cusp of establishing herself in South Indian cinema with multiple movies in the pipeline. However, the actress has missed out on bigger opportunities as it was reported that she had turned down Atlee’s Raaka, but she had rejected another major project, Dragon, in the past.
Preity Mukhundhan Rejected Two Big Projects
Preity Mukhundhan was offered Dragon
At the pre-release event of his upcoming Tamil film Anbil Avan, director Ashwath Marimuthu opened up about Preity’s past rejections. The filmmaker revealed that he had initially roped in Preity Mukhundhan as the female lead of Dragon, but she had refused the offer. The role eventually went to Kayadu Lohar.
Ashwath Marimuthu later joined hands with Preity for Anbil Avan. He revealed that he had informed the actress of a bigger offer that awaited her at the time of their first meeting.
Preity picked Anbil Avan
That “bigger offer” turned out to be Anbil Avan. Ashwath revealed that Preity had read the script and was thrilled to see a prominent role written for her. The actress will share the screen with Ashok Selvan in the film which is set to release this Friday.
She rejected Raaka too
Dragon is not the only big project that Preity had reportedly missed out on. It was also revealed that the actress had been associated with Atlee’s upcoming Telugu film Raaka, starring Allu Arjun. But Preity had to turn down the offer as she was overwhelmed with work and had an intense schedule for Idhayam Murali.
Despite missing out on big opportunities, Preity has been making a mark for herself with her recent stunts in Blast and Idhayam Murali. The actress is all set to release her Telugu film Emo Emo Idi on October 30, 2026. With Anbil Avan in the offing, Preity Mukhundhan has multiple exciting projects that keep her engaged in the South Indian film industry.
