Nayantara was quite frank in saying that an actress can seldom be good friends with her contemporaries, and jealousy is not the reason.
“No matter what is said, I must say quite honestly that it is very difficult for two heroines to be friends. It’s not that we are jealous of each other and spend our time envying each other. It’s just that the industry is like that.
Nayantara’s first Kannada film ‘Symbol’ in which she pairs opposite Upendra will be a trilingual – Kannada, Tamil and Telugu – and so Nayantara fans can get ready to cheer her in Tamil also.
We have already reported that sensational Nayantara has signed a Kannada film to be directed by Upendra, who will also play the lead role. This film, titled Symbol, Nayantara’s first in Kannada, was launched at the Mahalakshmi temple recently in Bangalore.
After capturing the hearts of Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam audiences, this lissome lass is all set to make a mark in Sandalwood too. Symbol will be produced by Rockline Venkatesh. At present, Nayantara is busy with Boss Engira Baskaran in Tamil and Simha in Telugu.
Standing atop at the No. 1 spot can get lonely, but no one ever really cribs! Nayantara is the reigning Queen of Hearts in the South, given her recent successes in Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam. Scores of pretty gals come and go, but there is something about Nayan that keeps audiences coming back for more, something that newcomers are lacking.
Movie: Adhurs
Director: VV Vinayak
Music: Devi Sri Prasad
Cast: NTR, Nayantara, Sheela, MS Narayana, Brahmanandam
This NTR starrer, which caught itself in the thick of the Telangana-Samaikhya Andhra controversy, released as a Sankranthi gift amidst tight police security at the theatres, with crowds reluctant to reach the theatres in Telangana region, while the moviegoers were thin at the theatres elsewhere in the Seema Andhra region, thanks their preoccupation with the festive mood. The film more or less generated an above average talk, more so due to somewhat interesting comedy and spellbound performance by NTR.
The story is about twin brothers who get separated as and when they see the light of the world. A Brahmin lady takes away one of the twins. An old woman plays a trick, thereby replacing the missing child with a dead baby. The weeping mother leaves with one baby. The missing boy becomes Chari (NTR), while his brother grows up as Narasimha (NTR) under the love and care of his mother. Chari is so sensitive and hilarious in his mannerisms, while Narasimha is brought up in a crude manner. While Nandu (Sheela), daughter of the police commissioner (Sayaji Shinde) falls in love with Narasimha, it is Chandrakala (Nayantara) who gets attracted to Chari. How the truth is out that the missing boy is alive and that how the twins get engaged to their respective love interests form the crux of the story.
Nayantara’s first film in Sandalwood had a perfect launch today with the pooja performed at Mahalakshmi temple in Seshadripuram.
Nayantara plays the heroine opposite Upendra and the film is called ‘Symbol’. The film is produced by Rockline Venkatesh. Upendra apart from acting will wield the megaphone also after a period almost 10 years.
The Malayalam film industry might pride itself on being one of the finest in India, but looks like it’s Tollywood, known for its ‘commercial’ movies, that is giving filmmakers from Kerala a run for their money. If the number of Telugu movies being dubbed in Malayalam is anything to go by, it can be said that Tollywood has found a new market.
Arundhati and Arya 2 are the latest movies that are being dubbed, after the success of releases like Happy Days, Parugu, Tulasi and Lakshmi. Shyam Prasad Reddy, producer of Arundhati is even contemplating roping in Malayali actors for future films. “I spent one month getting the right voices to dub for my movie. We are releasing the film in 30 theatres and I want to keep Kerala’s audience in mind, while casting for my next film.”

In her recent movies, Nayantara has upped her glam-quotient, but that’s only because she is getting more gorgeous by the day and is nice enough to share it with us all!
For those who thought she would promptly follow Shriya, Asin and Trisha to B-town, Nayan has a surprise in store. The actress insists that she has never really had any desire to work in Bollywood movies and hence, she is not even trying to land a role in a Hindi movie.
Heeding Ramlath’s request to save her marriage from the clutches of actress Nayantara, several women’s welfare organizations have been pitching support by way of letters and calling her.According to Kalpana, Head of Jhansi Rani Women’s Protective Association, it is wrong on the part of Nayantara to come in the way of a marriage which had been strong for 15 years.
“As a reputed actress, Nayantara has many avenues to shape her career and should not be the cause to break a marriage. Artistes like her have to set an example as every act is followed by scores of her fans. It could send wrong signals to the society,” said Kalpana.
"Ralmath has no business to abuse or criticise me," said Nayantara, reacting to the charge of Prabhu Deva’s wife to a leading morning vernacular.A report in an evening paper carries Nayantara’s reply. It says:
The media continues to harp upon the Nayanthara-Prabhu Deva romantic link-up. Reportedly, Nayantara came to Mumbai just to watch the premiere of Wanted (Hindi) with Prabhu Deva. "No comments" was the only comment from the duo when the media converged on them. Prabhu Deva’s wife Ramlath has opened her heart to a leading vernacular daily with a tearful message that she is already distressed by the death of her 12-year-old son Vishal due to cancer six months ago.
Reigning actress Nayantara, who was the first choice of noted director Srinivas for his upcoming Kannada film Swaranjali, has been replaced by Rashmi, who shot to fame with her debut film Duniya (directed by Soori).
The affair between hot Malayalam beauty Nayantara and Indian Michael Jackson Prabhu Deva was denied by both. However, reports have still been trickling from the southern circuit and it looks like something is still in the tray for those who are keen to know more.
