Nayantara: Queen of the South!
Nayantara, the hot and happening actress of the South, is currently busy with Boss Engira Baskaran (BEB) opposite Arya, directed by Rajesh M. of Siva Manasula Sakthi fame. “We’re shooting a song that features during a marriage. It’s so much fun doing a light-hearted flick. I haven’t worked with Arya before and when I got an offer from Rajesh, I accepted it immediately. He is a sensible director and managed to gauge the pulse of the audience in his very first film. BEB is a complete entertainer. There are no messages to be delivered or promises to be kept,” she said to a leading English daily.
So what is the movie all about? “It gives a peek into a middle-class family. It’s a movie about Baskaran (Arya) who takes life as it comes. He doesn’t believe in working and I change his life completely. I play Chandrika, a sensible middle-class girl, who expects everyone to be practical.”
Asked about her co-star Arya, she enthusiastically said, “He is so much fun to work with. He always has a smile on his face and it’s impossible to get angry with him. We have a good chemistry and got along like a house on fire.”
About her upcoming projects, she said, “I’ve Simha with Balakrishna, directed by Boyapati Srinu, in Telugu. I also have Electra with director Shyam Prasad in Malayalam. It’s an interesting script and I’m looking forward to shooting for it. If all goes well, I might also dub for myself in this movie. And in Kannada, I have a yet-to-be-titled film with Upendra.”
