Amalapal who is a leading heroine in Tamil and Malayalam has only acted in 5 films in Telugu. After that he left Telugu cinema. When asked why she did not continue acting in Telugu cinema, Amala Paul said, “When I came to act in Telugu, I realized that the Telugu film industry was in the grip of certain families. Those family actors and their fans dominated the Telugu film industry. When I acted in Telugu, the films were different. Every film had two. There will be heroines. Heroine will be used only for bad sex appeal. Heroine will come only in some romantic scenes and song scenes. The hero will occupy the rest of the screen. They used to take full commercial films. So I couldn’t stay in Telugu cinema. At the same time, I was lucky to act in Tamil cinema. Maina film. It earned me a good name. After Maina, opportunities kept pouring in. I even got opportunities to act with big actors,” he said.
