Nayantara finally enters Kannada films

October 8, 2009

Popular South Indian actress Nayantara (Nayanthara) is finally set to enter Kannada films. Crazy star V Ravichandran is introducing her to Kannada audiences through his forthcoming movie Keechaka (Kichaka). Besides acting, he has also taken the responsibility of directing it.

The film Keechaka has two heroines and along with Nayan, popular actress Jayaprada will play another lead lady. This is the first film, which features Jayaprada and V Ravichandran together. Ravi is playing double roles. After the movie Ekangi, he will once again be playing father and son.

Actor Ravichandran started the trend of bringing non-Kannada actress to Kannada films. He has introduced actress like Juhi Chawla (Premloka), Khushboo (Randaheera), Poonam Dhillon (Yuddakaanda) and Namitha (Neelakanta, Hoo). Now he is adding one more actress to his list.

Presently, Ravichandran is busy shooting his forthcoming movie Manjina Hani. The film Keechaka will start shooting from October 18. Nayantara will star alongside Ravichandran, while Jaya will act with his father in the movie.

Nayanthara goes crazy

Nayanthara goes crazy

October 5, 2009

He may be Sandalwood’s Crazy Star, but there’s nothing crazy about how Ravichandran chooses his leading ladies.

The veteran actor has a history of working with glam actresses — think Juhi Chawla in Premaloka, Khushboo in Ranadheera, Shilpa Shetty in Preethsodu Thapa, Poonam Dhillon in Yuddha Kaanda, and Namitha in Neelakanta and Hoo.

Now, the latest is that Kollywood bombshell Nayanthara will star opposite Ravichandran in Kichaka. The film will be directed by Ravichandran himself, and he will score the music as well. As if that’s not enough, the buzz is that he’ll also play a double role in Kichaka — that of a father and son. Bhanu Priya will play the wife of the father, and Nayanthara will play the girlfriend of the son.

Kichaka will be produced by Muni Rathna of Raktha Kanneeru and Anatharu fame and will go on the floors on October 18.(TNN)
