Aditi Rao Hydari's Malayalam movie Sufiyum Sujatayum has finally streamed on Amazon Prime Video. This film is the first Malayalam flick to get a digital release. Interestingly, Aditi had a brief role in the 2006 Malayalam movie Prajapathi which starred Mammootty in the leading role. However, during an exclusive interaction with DNA, Aditi clarified that she was called in as a dancer in the film and Sufiyum Sujatayum is indeed her debut film as an actor in Malayalam.
On quizzed about returning to Malayalam cinema after 14 years, Aditi stated, "No, I never acted in Prajapathi. I was just called on as a dancer. So I can't call it my first movie. I am sorry. I'm tired of explaining this. It's very embarrassing for me because people think that's my movie but it's really really not."
Here take a look at her sequences in Prajapathi:

She further spoke about her debut movie by saying, "My first movie was called Sringaram. Even I was not an actor then, I was a dancer. I played a dancer in the movie and I had a double role in. So that's my legit first movie. Then, I took a little time and I joined the industry in 2010-11. Then after having worked in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, I'm now working in a Malayalam movie as an actor. Sufiyum Sujathayum is my movie and I very proudly say that."

Aditi was also asked if she was offered a Malayalam before Sufiyum Sujatayum. To which she replied, "I was recently about a year or so, was offered a film. But it was a bit complicated, I think, then they went ahead with somebody else. I think date wise or I don't know, maybe they just changed their mind. But I didn't end up doing that."
