Nayanthara’s maiden collaboration with M Sasikumar

This project will mark Nayanthara's first collaboration with the director. The new collaboration has sparked a lot of buzz among fans who are waiting to witness the actress-director duo’s magic on screen. Nayanthara, who has delivered some of the whistle-worthy women-centric films, has hardly failed to woo the audiences with her performance and screen presence.  

Likewise, director M Sasikumar, who has directed critically acclaimed films such as Subramaniapuram, is sure to impress the audience with his marvellous direction. Interestingly, the actor-director will be returning to direction after a 14-year hiatus. The last film helmed by the director was the 2010 movie Easan.
