Kollywood Hotshots

One among them is numerology. As part of that, it is heard that Nayantara considers her lucky number to be the digit 5.

With this, whatever vehicles she has they have the number 5. As it is, sources say Nayantara has a great passion for swanky cars and all high-end vehicles. Those who know the pretty girl closely say she is an intense person and at the same time very closely guarded with her feelings and emotions.

Generally, numerology folks say number 5 is a very successful and practical number but when it comes to the emotional and personal side they tend to have some turbulence and ups and downs. Looking at the way Nayantara‘s life has been one has to believe that numerology plays a key role.

Hero Udayanidhi Stalin (debuted with OKOK) happens to be grandson of ex-CM Karunanidhi. In his upcoming film ‘Idhu Kadhirvelan Kadhal‘, Nayantara is playing his heroine and the recently released poster of that film is a hot topic now.

Seen in a deep skin hugging traditional chudidhar, the dress folds on the back of Nayantara at the place where hero is touch her are an element of interest for now. We have to see what more she will offer in movie.

Actor Udhaynidhi Stalin‘s next film as actor has been titled Idhu Kadhirvelan Kadhal, and the first look of the film has been released. As expected, it is being directed by Sundarapandian fame Prabhakaran. The movie is set to start rolling by the end of January and we will soon see more from the crew.

Just like the actor-producer wanted, the team have roped in Nayanthara to play the lead in the film. The actress is looking to make a comeback in Tamil cinema after being out for a while.

Harris Jeyaraj will be composing the music and has already started working on a few numbers. This will be the second film for Udhay after OKOK and will be under his banner Red Giant Movies

It was said that Dhanush will be making a guest appearance in the film and now it has been confirmed that it will be an item song titled 'Kuthu' featuring Nayanthara too. The song will be choreographed by Bhaskar. This will be Nayan's third item song in Kollywood after “Kodambakkam area” in Sivakasi and “Ballelakka” in Sivaji.

Dhanush has also written and sung a song under Anirudh Ravichander's composition. The film's audio launch will be held on the 14th of December in Chennai and the audio rights have been bagged by Sony.

Ethir Neechal has Sivakarthikeyan, Priya Anand and Nandita in lead roles. Velraj is handling the cinematography, Noor Azwan is editing the film and Dhanush's Wunderbar films is bankrolling the project.

Udhyanidhi Stalin who made his debut with Oru Kal Oru Kannadi is working on his next with director Prabhakaran who made his directorial debut with Sundarapandian.

The film is said to be a comedy laugh riot with Santhanam teaming with Udhayanidhi once again.

Udhayanidhi Stalin had tweeted, "Nayanthara is playing the female lead role in my next film directed by SR Prabhakaran sir! Nd DOP is Balasubramaniem sir:)"

The film will commence its shoot January 2013 and the music score to be taken care by Harris Jayaraj as Udhayanidhi feels him to be his lucky mascot.

Interestingly it was Nayanthara who was supposed to do OKOK with Udhayanidhi, as she had worked with Director Rajesh earlier in Boss Engira Baskaran. As she was not signing any new films at that time, she had politely refused and then Hansika Motwani joined in.

Nayan is currently busy working on Ajith-Vishnuvardhan's untitled film, Krishnam Vande Jagatgurum with Rana Daggubati and Raja Rani with Jai.

Rumours are rife that Nayantara has been approached by the makers of Singam 2 for the special number in the movie. The early buzz says that she has not signed on the dotted lines, but the actress has given her verbal consent. It is said that Hari was the director, who introduced the 26-year-old girl to Tamil cinema in Ayya. It is this reason, which has made the actress to agree to give a nod for the item number.

However, Singam 2, which is a sequel to Singam, also stars Anushka Shetty and Hansika Motwani in the lead roles. The movie produced by KE Gnanavel Raja will hit the screens next summer.

She has come back with a bang and we all believe that Nayan was only made for the movies.

She will be facing the camera after a small hiatus and what best way to start afresh than praying at the most famous temple in India?

The actress drove down from Chennai to Tirupati, on Wednesday early morning, and had a darshan at around 10.30 am.

The temple authorities were intimated and they were waiting for her outside. She was taken inside and being the middle of the week there wasn’t much crowd.
A source close to her said that she did few special poojas, had a peaceful darshan and drove back to Chennai in the evening.

It is confirmed that Jayabalaji Real media will be the producers of this action entertainer. Remember there is no official confirmation that Nayanthara Ajith’s heroine in Vishnuvardhan directed film for producer AM Ratnam. .

Vada Chennai has been in news for Rana Daggubati's walk out and the film which had undergone a day's workshop for the cast and crew has Simbu and Andrea Jeremiah in pivotal roles.

Interestingly if Nayantara is roped in to the casting, she might have a chance to work alongside her ex boyfriend Simbu! After her reported break up with Prabhu Deva, we guess Nayantara is on a vengeance to hit back in to movies.

Simbu who has worked with Nayantara in Vallavan, Simbu had even said that he has no issues in working with her again. We hear that Nayantara might consider the offer too, as Vetrimaran is keen in bringing the hit pair again on screen.

Vada Chennai has music by GV Prakash Kumar, while cinematography is handled by Velraj.

He is keen on getting Nayan to play the lead role along with Ajith as it is now clear that she is looking to make a comeback. It may be mentioned here that there is news that Nayan’s relationship with Prabhu Deva has fizzled out and the actress wants to get back to her career.

Nayan's sms was: “You looked really good in the JFW photo shoot and in one of the pics, you looked so much like Priyanka Chopra. The way you have made this fast make-over is quite appreciable”

And Amala Paul screamed in joy and happiness. She was quick to reply back to Nayan: “Nayan you made my day. It was so sweet and kind of you to tell me this, and these words coming from you, means a lot . No other heroine of your stature would tell me this”

Amala said: “I was always proud about Nayanthara who is from Kerala and made it big in south Indian cinema. She created a place for herself in this male-dominated industry and more than being glamorous, she is also an amazing performer. She has struggled to reach this position and be it her make-over, attitude and bold moves, I really look up to her”.

Director Siddique was very much impressed with her performance and wanted her to play the same role in Tamil version as well with Vijay and Asin. This Perumbavoor beauty, in an interview to a channel, claimed that Nayanthara is a distant relative to her and she also said that the real name of Nayanthara is Diana Kurian. With the strong role as equal as Asin in Kaavalan, Mithra is said to be flooded with the offers from Kollywood,.

Nayanathra says: "First and foremost, I have not spoken to any media in the recent past. And I was shocked that the magazine carried a fabricated interview with me, which has been taken by all sections of media including newspapers and Internet".

"I have always respected my work and prefer to keep my personal matters to myself. Right now, I am busy with the shoot of Sri Ramajayam, which is a lifetime role for me. I have given bulk dates for this film directed by Bapu ji and when the right time comes, I will come out in the open about my future plans regarding films and personal life".

Jansi Rani Magaleer Paadhugappu Sangam’s head Kalpana told the reporters that the agitations would continue till the issue is resolved. She added that women will hold black flag demonstrations when Nayan is in the city.

Added to that the cameraman for this ad shoot was Ratnavelu and make up was done by Banu both who are a part of Enthiran team.

However the icing on the cake for Nayan was when superstar Rajinkanth visited her sets and spoke to her. Rajini who was shooting on another floor of the studio for Enthiran promotion on Sun TV walked into the sets where the Pothys ad shoot was happening and exchanged pleasantries with everyone.

Girija Raghavan the consultant publicist of Pothys told : “Nayanthara is the brand ambassador for our designer sarees which we are launching for Diwali. It is one the most expensive shoots that we have done so far. The classy set which resembled an art gallery was designed by Selva (of Madhrasapattinam fame). Motion control camera operated by foreign technicians under the guidance of Scott was used to show multiple Nayanthara’s in a single frame, something which is done for the first time in an ad shoot.”

The stills were shot by ace cameraman Venkat Ram and styling was done by Chaitanya Rao. This innovative ad will be aired from this week on television, Adds Girija: “Nayanthara is hot and happening. She represents the modern and glamourous girl of today and is the perfect choice who can be identified with our designer sarees”.

Arya and Nayantara participated on the last day shoot and the whole team was visibly happy. Udhayanidhi Stalin, KS Seenivasan and D Siva also took part in the celebrations.
‘Boss Engira Baskaran’ is a romantic comedy that will appeal to all types of people. Rajesh who earlier gave the hilarious romantic comedy ‘Siva Manasula Sakthi’ last year is the director of this film also.

Red Giant Movies has snapped up the theatrical rights of ‘Boss Engira Baskaran’. Music is by Yuvan Shankar Raja. Cinematography is by Shakthi Saravanan.

Sources close to the actress say that she agreed to star in this film as it is the potential award-winning role. Bollywood actress Vidya Balan was offered the role initially but she rejected it, sources report. Madhilgalkappuram, which has Mammootty playing the male lead, happens to be his home production.

Now, the grapevine has it that Prakash Raj has been signed up to play her dad in the film. The actor, it is well-known in Kollywood, is a close friend of Nayan, and stands by her during trying situations the actress had been facing of late.

And Manisha Koirala, the Nepalese beauty will be Nayan’s mom and Prakash’s pair in Electra.

On being a glamour girl, she says that the roles offered require her to be so. The actress pointed out that it is always better to take up small films that offer meaty role rather than big budget ones that are hero-centric and offer no scope for the leading lady.

Nayantara is currently busy with her maiden Kannada flick opposite Upendra. Her upcoming flicks include Boss Engira Baskaran with Arya in Tamil and Simha with Balakrishna in Telugu.

The director, in a recent interview to a national daily, recalls that what happened between the production house and Nayan was due to communication gap. The director was quoted as saying, “Things may not have worked out, but I’m still her fan.”

He said that Tamanna was zeroed in because he wanted an actress that could perform well throughout the movie.
