You have to give it to Nayanthara . The Kerala-born Christian girl, who made it big in Tamil cinema, knows for sure which side of the bread is buttered!
The ambitious actress that she is, ‘naughty’ Nayan is currently riding the crest of success in Tollywood.
Ever since her latest Telugu flick Lakshmi with Venkatesh as the hero became a smashing hit, Nayan’s stock has gone up immensely in Telugu cinema market.
The success of Lakshmi has set the Telugu producers and directors after nubile Nayans, whose lip-locking posters with Tamil actor Simbhu had created an uproar in Chennai.
The Tollywood tiding is that Nayan has been snapped up by director V. Vinayakam for yet another Telugu project featuring young actor Prabhas .
And for doing the film, Nayanthara has reportedly been offered a remuneration of Rs 60 lakh.
No wonder, she said ‘No’ to a Malayalam film, ‘Kirtichakra’ starring megastar Mohanlal .
The reasoning is simple: if you can command Rs 60 lakh in Tollywood and a Rs 40 to 50 lakh fee in neighbouring Tamil film world, why waste time doing a Malayalam film for a miserly Rs 5 to 6 lakhs!
