Further, also reportedly added, “Even in the posters, you can see this. When I do a film down South with my heroes, who would put my face so prominently? It's been a pleasure to act with Mammootty sir and Ajay. These are real stalwarts of cinema, I feel. They are giving back to cinema.”

X users shared posters of films like Kaakha Kaakha, Dum Dum Dum, Kushi, and Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu, to remind her how she indeed was part of the posters.
“Acted in Kollywood, made her salary, married Suriya & living a peaceful life in the South where people cherish this couple. Nothing wrong in appreciating colleagues there, but don’t compare & talk bad about South — such a chameleon low-life you are, #Jyothika,” wrote an angry X user, sharing her posters. Another wrote, “Even in movies where she is just a glam girl/small cameo, she was in movie posters.”
Jyotika was last seen in Tamil in the 2021 film Udanpirappe. She was also part of the critically acclaimed 2023 Malayalam film Kaathal—The Core. She was most recently seen in the Hindi films Shaitaan and Srikanth in 2024, as well as the Netflix web series Dabba Cartel which released earlier this year on Netflix.
