Kayadu Lohar has opened up about dealing with social-media scrutiny and public speculation, saying she has made peace with the way the internet can amplify both criticism and positive reactions. The actor also clarified why her promotional appearances for I’m Game and Immortal were different.
Kayadu Lohar is currently in the spotlight with two releases arriving in theatres around the same time. The actor features alongside Dulquer Salmaan in the Malayalam fantasy-action thriller I’m Game and stars with GV Prakash Kumar in the Tamil fantasy-horror film Immortal.
With both projects generating attention, Kayadu has also found herself answering questions about social-media criticism, her earlier decision to step away from online platforms and speculation that had circulated around her name.
Speaking to Galatta Plus, the actor reflected on the experience of being a public figure and acknowledged that dealing with online conversations has not always been easy.
Kayadu Lohar Says She Has Made Peace With Social Media Scrutiny
Kayadu had temporarily stepped back from social media in June 2026, explaining at the time that she wanted to disconnect from screens and spend more time focusing on herself.
In her announcement, she said that sometimes the mind needs the same kind of rest as the body and that she wanted to slow down and be more present away from a screen. She indicated that professional updates would continue to be handled through her team.
Her latest comments suggest that the decision was also part of maintaining a healthier distance from the constant attention that comes with being an actor.
Speaking about the criticism and discussions surrounding her online, Kayadu said she still finds some of it difficult to understand.
“It’s still very difficult to understand all of this, it’s very political too, I feel. I’m not great with it. I’m just a very innocent, honest person. I’ll just speak my heart out and be good to people,” she said.
The actor added that she had eventually “made peace with it”, pointing out that the internet can work in both directions.
“There are people who are talking good things also,” she said.
Her comments reflect the complicated relationship many public figures have with social media, where appreciation and criticism can quickly appear alongside one another.
What Is The TASMAC Controversy Linked To Kayadu Lohar?
Kayadu’s name had previously surfaced in reports concerning an alleged TASMAC-related case in Tamil Nadu. Reports in May 2026 claimed that the actor had come under the Enforcement Directorate’s scanner in connection with the matter.
However, it is important to distinguish media reports and online speculation from independently established facts. The allegations surrounding the case should not be presented as proof of wrongdoing by Kayadu Lohar.
The actor’s latest comments focus more broadly on the difficulty of navigating public scrutiny and do not, by themselves, establish the details of any alleged case.
Separately, an account purportedly using Kayadu’s name also became part of online controversy following the Karur stampede. Claims circulated online involving the death of a person at a political rally, but such social-media claims should be treated cautiously unless independently verified.
Kayadu’s remarks about social-media scrutiny come against this wider background of online speculation surrounding her name.
Kayadu Lohar Explains Her Limited Immortal Promotions
The actor also addressed another topic that had prompted discussion online: her different promotional involvement in I’m Game and Immortal.
Kayadu was seen participating in promotional activities for I’m Game, while her comparatively limited presence during the campaign for Immortal led some observers to wonder whether she was giving preference to one project.
According to Kayadu, the situation was much more straightforward.
“I had only one day available for the I’m Game promotion, so I did that, and the team on Immortal didn’t have that date,” she explained.
Her response suggests that the difference in promotional appearances was a matter of scheduling and availability, rather than an indication that she was deliberately prioritising one film over another.
I’m Game And Immortal Release In Theatres
Kayadu Lohar has a particularly busy period ahead with both films reaching audiences within a day of each other.
Nahas Hidhayath’s I’m Game, headlined by Dulquer Salmaan and featuring Kayadu, released in theatres on September 3, 2026.
The Malayalam film combines action and fantasy elements and marks another project in Kayadu’s growing body of work in South Indian cinema.
Meanwhile, Mariyappan Chinna’s Immortal, starring GV Prakash Kumar and Kayadu Lohar, arrived in theatres on September 4, 2026.
The back-to-back releases give the actor an opportunity to connect with audiences through two different films and genres.
Kayadu Lohar Chooses To Focus On Her Work
Despite the online speculation and scrutiny, Kayadu’s latest comments indicate that she is attempting to maintain perspective and concentrate on her professional journey.
Her earlier social-media break showed her willingness to create some distance from the digital environment, while her latest remarks suggest that she has become more accepting of the fact that public attention comes with both praise and criticism.
For now, the actor is focused on her films and on connecting with audiences through her work.
