Faria Abdullah: Rejecting HanuMan is my biggest regret

Published on Tuesday, 28 Apr 2026 11:00 PM

During the promotions of Gaayapadda Simham, actress Faria Abdullah revealed that she was approached for Teja Sajja and Prasanth Varma’s blockbuster HanuMan, but she said no to the devotional entertainer. The actress called it the biggest regret in her career.

When asked what made her reject the film, Faria said, “I lacked brain back then, and hence I said no. I didn’t know much about the role. That was the time I entered the industry, and Jathi Rathnalu became a big hit. Whenever I meet Teja or Prasanth, my decision still lingers in my mind. I even tell them I missed the film.”

Faria Abdullah’s loss is Amritha Aiyer’s gain as the film went on to create a box office sensation. On the other hand, Faria Abdullah’s recent releases didn’t make much of an impact, and we need to see how Gaayapadda Simham will fare.
