But that’s okay. I believe that whatever is your market value, you ask for it and you will get paid for it. There have been times when I was paid less than my male co-star. It does not bother me, though. I know my market value and my worth. This is my opinion and my experience. I will charge what I believe I deserve. I won’t ask for an unnecessary hike."She also shared how the way actors approach time differs a lot between Northa and South. “The working style is different in both. In South, they generally start on time. They will start at 7 or 8 am. When we say 8, we actually start at 8 no matter what. Here I have noticed that when you say 8, people arrive at that point of time," she added.Upcoming projectsPriyamani was most recently seen in the Malayalam thriller Officer on Duty, and Revathy's adaptation of the American show, The Good Wife. She will seen in Jana Nayagan, Vijay's final film before his retirement for politics.Priyamani will also appear with Manoj Bajpayee in The Family Man's third season.
