Actress Nayantara is reportedly spending a lot of amount out of her income to sustain her on-going affair with choreographer-turned-actor-turned-director Prabhudeva. Continue
Today many top actresses like Trisha, Asin are earning lots of money through acting in many commercial adds, the sexy and hot actress Nayantara rejected 1 crore offer by declining to endorse a popular consumer goods product.
Two was better than one — as least as far as heroines were concerned in Tollywood of the late 80’s and 90’s. That trend is making a comeback with at least seven out of 10 new releases now having more than one female protagonist. Directors defend the multiple casting as ‘script demands’ but producers and stars admit that added girl power brings more commercial value to the film.
This year is bang on trend – Adurs stars Nayantara and Sheela, then Leader with Richa and Priya Anand, in Maro Charitra Shraddha Das and Anita shared screen time while Suhasini and Madhurima festooned Mounaragam and it was a triple whammy in Simha starring Namitha, Nayantara and Sneha Ullal.
Dileep plays the role of scriptwriter Nandhagopan in his upcoming movie Superstar. The movie is directed by Sanjeev Raj and script by S Suresh Babu. Kalabhavan Mani plays the role of a superstar Sooryakiran in the film which will deal with the in house stories of the tinsel town.
Dileep will play the role which represents a group pushed away to the outskirts of the city slums, thus making place for the wealthy biggies to be more comfortable. At this point of time he writes a script with this in the backdrop and which later becomes the talk of the town. The movie also cast Muktha, Ramba, Jagathy Sreekumar, Vijayaraghavan, ‘Thalaivasal’ Vijay, Ramachandran, Ganga, Salimkumar, and Ashokan.
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.
