Priya Prakash Varrier claims viral wink was her idea, gets sarcastic reply from director Omar Lulu: ‘Poor child must have forgotten…’

Check out Omar’s post –

In another post, he just posted a picture of the herbal remedy, and wrote in Malayalam, “I dedicate this to those who lost their memory after entering the film industry with my movie.” Fans seemed to support Omar in the comments section. One person wrote, “Once you are famous, it is my input. But if it is bad, it is director’s input,” while another one commented, “Don’t forget the path you took to reach where you are today.”

The song’s video has almost 971,000 likes and over 107 million views on YouTube. The film also starred Roshan Abdul Rahoof in the lead role. In an earlier interview with the indianexpress.com, Priya had spoken about becoming famous overnight.

She said, “Though I am enjoying this new-found fame, I never thought a wink would become such a big deal. Till this date, I don’t know how it went viral. It was a tiny video, after all. In fact, that was ‘okayed’ in the first take. The director asked me to give some cute expressions, and I went with the flow. I wonder what people saw in that wink that they admired so much. Even today, wherever I go, they ask me to wink. I don’t get irritated, but feel bored. I think I would have winked at least 200 times on request.”
