Actor Naslen has responded to claims about him coming across as being 'arrogant'. During the success press meet of his Tamil debut film, Scene, the actor was asked whether he considered himself an arrogant person. Turning the question back to the reporter, Naslen asked whether they think he is arrogant. The actor then clarified that he is not interested in responding to such allegations.
The press meet was attended by the film's director, Jithu Madhavan, and its female lead Nazriya Nazim. Nazriya also commented that they were expecting this question. Later, director Jithu interrupted the conversation with a witty reply, "Arrogant people never admit they are arrogant. So there is no point in asking them about it." He added that people should ask others about it to know whether they are arrogant or not. As the question arose again, Nazriya backed the Premalu actor by saying he is an innocent person.
The allegations were raised after the actor dropped Premalu 2, the sequel to his 2024 film with director Girish AD and co-star Mamitha Baiju, which made him a commercial actor.
Actor Naslen made his debut in Tamil cinema with Scene, helmed by Jithu Madhavan. The actor's performance as an evil antagonist in it has received appreciation from colleagues and the audience. Director Atlee appreciated his performance, calling him a future superstar.
Naslen also has a busy slate of upcoming releases, including Bachelor Party D'eux with director Amal Neerad, Tiki Taka with Rohith VS and co-star Asif Ali, and the multistarrer Torpedo with Tharun Moorthy. He also has a film with Mammootty and Asif Alif titled Mattancherry Mafia.
Meanwhile, Scene has become a leading grosser in theatres. With it, Suriya has become the first Tamil actor ever to have three films with a gross collection of more than 200 crore in the same year, joining previous titles Karuppu and Vishwanathan and Sons. On Wednesday, Zhagaram Studios, the actor and his wife Jyotika's production banner, revealed that his recent film with director Jithu Madhavan has earned over 200 crore.
