Sai Pallavi, whose film with Suriya, NGK, hit the theatres yesterday, has mentioned in a recent interview that taking up the 2018 film, Diya, was a mistake on her side.

"I now feel that my decision to do the lead role in director Vijay's Diya was a wrong one. I did not possess the maturity I have now at that time. I felt that the movie revolves around me on reading the script, but, apparently, I was wrong," the Maari 2 actor has been quoted as saying.

Sai Pallavi also claimed that she would have suggested several changes to Diya's script, had she listened to the story now. 

Diya, a horror drama, was about a 19 year old (played by Sai Pallavi, who is convinced into aborting her pregnancy. Years later, her unborn baby's spirit kills all those who forced her mother to undergo the abortion.
