Nayanthara made her acting debut in the 2003 Malayalam film Manassinakkare with Jayaram. She deserves a huge appreciation for making her phase from glamorous actress to a lady superstar.
We can say that Nayanthara is the only lady superstar who is ruling the South Indian films over past years.
After the legendary actress late Sridevi, Nayantara would probably be the one who enjoys the stardom that any superheroes have in the Industry. From commercial mass-masala flicks to content-driven women-centric movies, Nayantara has excelled in selecting the right scripts and making it a success. She started as a Television anchor in Malayalam and then kicked off her film career with Sathyan Anthikad’s Manasinakkare and then stepped into Kollywood with Sharathkumar starrer Ayyaa and her journey continues.
