The race is over at last, and the winner is Nayantara .
Wondering what the commotion is all about? Well, the take from Kollywood is that Nayan has beaten Asin in the race to have a role in Rajnikant’s in-the-making movie, Sivaji .
After an agonizing suspense, Nayantara has been lapped up for the opening song in ‘Sivaji’.
How did Nayan clinch it? Well, the spin is that she shares excellent rapport with Rajnikant . Besides, she has already acted with the Tamil superstar in his super-hit film, Chandramukhi .
These factors must have influenced the decision of Rajni and director Shankar in opting for Nayantara rather than Asin.
Whatever it is, in the race between two Malayali Christian belles, the one from Tiruvalla has got the better of the other damsel.
