And it is a wrap for Nayanthara’s next

South Indian actress Nayanthara, who has her plate full with several high-profile projects, has wrapped up her Malayalam film, Love Action Drama. Also starring Nivin Pauly and Aju Varghese in lead roles, the romantic action drama commenced its shoot in July, 2018. It marks the directorial debut of actor Dhyan Sreenivasan.

Nayanthara, who was recently seen in Tamil romantic action comedy Mr Local (2019), is working on several films simultaneously. Her busy schedule is keeping her on her toe. She is awaiting the release of Tamil mystery thriller Kolayuthir Kaalam. Directed by Chakri Toleti, the movie is set to roll into theatres nationwide on 14th June.

The list of her exciting projects does not end there. Besides Kolayuthir Kaalam, Nayanthara will also be seen in Vijay’s much-anticipated film, Thalapathy 63. The movie is currently being shot at a brisk pace because it is scheduled to release during the festivities of Diwali this year.

Nayanthara, who works in several popular South Indian languages, has also joined forces with megastar Rajinikanth. She is playing the female lead in his next film, Darbar. Directed by well-known filmmaker A.R. Murugadoss, the action thriller enters theatres on 17th January, 2020. Darbar is set to become her first big release in 2020. The actress will also be seen in the Chiranjeevi starrer Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy and a couple of more interesting films.

We hope that with the wrap up of her Malayalam film Love Action Drama, she must be feeling a little easier in her mind. This is the first time Nivin Pauly and Nayanthara have teamed up for a movie. Love Action Drama is slated to hit the marquee on Onam.

These titles are travelling further than they ever have, including into the UK’s busy OTT space.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
