The onscreen chemistry between glamorous Nayanthara and Vijay in the ‘Kodambakkam Area’ number made it a stupendous hit beyond imagination. Now, all eyes are on the beautiful star in Villu where she pairs opposite Vijay for the first time ever. The star who transformed herself from pretty girl-next-door to sizzling sex siren overnight is sure to have more surprises up her sleeve for her fans in this film. The last year had her in a spate of controversies. Behindwoods caught up with her and discovered that nothing can dim this sparkling star’s shine as she gets ready to cast her spell once again in Villu.
How do you feel being paired opposite Vijay for the first time?
I feel very good. I really like his movies and his acting prowess. He is a thorough professional on the sets and is very dedicated. He does not talk much but is a good friend.
What kind of role do you play in Villu?
I can’t reveal much but my role is cute and bubbly and a mix of glamour and homeliness.
It has been said that during the shooting of Villu, you and Vijay had a rocking time with Vadivelu. Can you share those lively times?
Vadivelu is a good actor and has a great sense of comic timing. You tend to laugh when you watch his mannerisms and when he speaks. He is very energetic.
Vijay has double roles in Villu. Can you tell us something about his character in the film.
Sorry, I am not supposed to reveal anything on that. However, it will be a stylish movie and will have everything that Vijay fans expect from him. It will be packaged well.
This is the first time you are working with director Prabhu Deva. How did you find the experience?
Prabhu Deva is a very tough taskmaster and a perfectionist, he very keenly observes even the smallest of expressions. He knows how to handle artistes well and will extract the best from an actor without the person even realising it. He takes interest in all departments, I have never seen a director doing all this for a movie. Whether it’s the artiste’s look, references, costumes, editing, he looks into everything. Any actor who has acted under him will want to do another film with him.
He did not actually choreograph any of the songs in Villu, his assistants did. However, he was always there on the sets and would make suggestions. These small things will create magic onscreen.
You have been called a lucky mascot for Super Star Rajinikanth and featured in 3 films continuously with him. How do you feel about it?
I feel very lucky about it since not everyone gets a chance like this. I am really happy.
Your exit from Paiyya was much spoken about? Could you share your side?
That’s the past, I would not like to get back to it.
You had done an action role in Billa. Are you interested in more action roles?
Well, it depends, I do not believe in overdoing anything. In Billa, I got the right blend of action and other elements. The character must be proper and portrayed well. However, I am not too much for action roles.
He is the perfect gentleman and very straightforward and honest. If he does not like something, he would say it on the face. I like this bold quality of his and he is also a sweet guy. I enjoyed working with him.
I like my character in Yaaradi Nee Mohini as it’s very close to my heart, it reflects a typical girl’s emotion. She’s working and independent yet when it comes to her family, she is a normal girl.
You did not celebrate Christmas at home for the past 4 years. Why?
I could not celebrate in a big way because I had shoots. Every year, the Christmas tree and decorations are up in my home though. In 2008, I spent it at home with my parents and enjoyed it.
What is the secret behind your trim physique?
I believe in regular workouts and controlling my diet. When I shoot at places where a gym is not available, I am very careful about my diet. However, I do not believe in crash dieting and don’t recommend that as this is bad for health in the long run.
What kind of clothes do you like?
Generally, I prefer casuals like jeans. For occasions, I like designer wear, I shop while abroad and like Valentino and Karen Mille.
I have just read about that and am not very sure about it. However, I think temples should only be built for gods and not for human beings. I accept the love of my fans but would ask them to please avoid building temples as this is not necessary. Poojas should be kept only for the gods.
I like my character in Yaaradi Nee Mohini as it’s very close to my heart, it reflects a typical girl’s emotion. She’s working and independent yet when it comes to her family, she is a normal girl.
Who is your favourite hero?
Rajini Sir.
You have been in a lot of controversies last year, yet the media acknowledges you as the Numero Uno? What’s your take on this?
Well, someone has to the Number One. One has to be very dedicated for this. I am honest and think that’s what has given me the position and fan following.
You had four big banner releases in 2008, Yaaradi Nee Mohini, Aegan, Kuselan and Sathyam. How was 2008 for you?
Okay, I would say, that’s all. Though I had big banner releases, only Yaaradi Nee Mohini fared well.
What will your 2009 be like?
Besides Tamil, I will be seen in Telugu and Malayalam films as well. I would like a South Indian presence. About Aadhavan, it’s too early to say anything.
What is your thinking about love?
Love is a beautiful roller-coaster of emotions. Happiness, sorrow, denial and pain are part of the process. Love is successful only when the lovers unite.
You have worked in Iyya and Chandramukhi. Both were with popular stars. Did you expect that you would find success in Tamil industry?
I really did not expect such affection. I am so overwhelmed and humbled by the affection shown to me by the Tamil audience.
What do you think is your major advantage?
Most of the people appreciate my good looks. I receive a lot of mail congratulating my acting which complements the beauty.
Any regimen to maintain your beauty?
Oh, no! I think my beauty is a God-given gift. I don’t follow any special routine of diet or exercise. I do not stay away from food for the sake of maintaining my figure. Even during shoots, I eat whatever is provided to other unit members.
Nayanthara may loose her place again?
Nayanthara had a bitter 2009 as her personnel life was more in the news than her professional news. Recently, her name was also proposed to Kamal Hassan for his next movie with director Ravi Kumar. But now, it is gossiped that Nayan has lost the place as her value in Kollywood has dropped to minimum due to her love story.
Already, many young Heroes like Jayam Ravi are not willing to act opposite to Nayantara due to her love affair with choreographer turned director Prabhu Deva. For this reason, Nayan has lost the race and place opposite to Kamal and again Trisha or Tamannah’s name is under consideration.
But official statement that Nayan has lost her place in the film with Kamal is awaited.
Your kissing scene in Vallavan…?
See, I work according to the director’s guidance. If the script demands a kissing scene, I think there is nothing wrong. I only object to the kiss being inserted for the purpose of titillation. In Vallavan, I am working with Simbu who is very passionate about films. The scene in question gels well with the story and does not seem out of place.
You seem quite categorical about this. Have you ever been in love?
Oh, no! I just told you what I saw with people who were in love.
What is your reaction to shouts of I Love You from besotted fans?
I will give out a glad Thank you.
If heroes said the same to you….?
You are out to corner me. My reply under such circumstances will depend who said it, when and where and also my state of mind at that moment.
You believe in love marriages or arranged marriages. What will be your choice?
I believe in destiny. I will marry a person who likes me and my family.
Are you religious?
I am a Christian. But I go to the church and also visit temples.
That is Nayantara for you. The vivacious actress has made an impact with her flawless looks and expressive acting. Let us hope and wish her good luck in her future projects.
