Kayadu Lohar has responded to the discussion surrounding her promotional appearances for ‘I’m Game’ and ‘Immortal’. The actress was seen supporting Dulquer Salmaan‘s Malayalam film but had limited visibility during the campaign for her Tamil release.Both movies reached cinemas within a day of each other. ‘I’m Game’ opened on September 3, followed by ‘Immortal’ on September 4. The difference in Kayadu’s promotional presence led to speculation online.Speaking to Galatta Plus, Kayadu explained that the situation was largely the result of scheduling difficulties. She said her availability did not coincide with the promotional plans of the two teams.
‘I’m Game’ promotion fitted her schedule
Kayadu Lohar said she had only a single day available for the promotional campaign of ‘I’m Game’. The team behind ‘Immortal’ could not arrange an event on that particular date.“I had only one day available for the I’m Game promotion, so I did that, and the team on Immortal didn’t have that date,” she explained. The actress was also occupied with another film during the same period. She was shooting for a project featuring Suriya, which added to her already packed schedule.Kayadu further clarified that her absence was not limited to ‘Immortal’. She revealed that she missed another promotional event for ‘I’m Game’ as well.“There was also an I’m Game promotion that happened later that I didn’t turn up to.”
Actress addresses social media speculation
The promotional debate also affected Kayadu’s experience on social media. The actress briefly stepped away from online platforms as discussions around her commitments gained attention.Kayadu admitted that she finds it difficult to understand some of the conversations that take place online. She also described the situation as complicated.“There are people who have their own thoughts about it, that this film is important and this film is not important, why she’s not there. I’m used to it, so it’s okay.” She also spoke about her personality and her approach to dealing with people.“It’s still very difficult to understand all of this, it’s very political too, I feel. I’m not great with it. I’m just a very innocent, honest person. I’ll just speak my heart out and be good to people,” she said.Kayadu has since returned to social media. She said she has accepted that online discussions can work both ways and has made peace with the situation. “There are people who are talking good things also”.

The actress also discussed the experience of working alongside Suriya. Rather than allowing the presence of an established star to intimidate her, Kayadu said she uses challenging situations as motivation.“When I get challenged, I really push myself hard,” she said.
