Nayanthara reveals how she fell in love with Vignesh Shivan

Superstar Nayanthara, who made her Hindi cinema debut with the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer box-office juggernaut ‘Jawan’, has recollected how she and her husband, Vignesh Shivan fell in love.

The actress made the revelation in her streaming documentary ‘Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale’. On Thursday, the makers shared a clip from the documentary which shows the couple walking down the memory lane as they spoke about falling for each other.

Nayanthara said in the video “One day, all of a sudden, we were just doing one scene on the roads of Pondicherry. Since the roads and all were cleared and all that, I was just sitting on the road waiting for my shot. And Vicky was doing a shot with, I think, Vijay Sethupathi sir. And, you know, he was just doing his shot and all that”.

She further mentioned, “I don’t know, for some strange reason, all of a sudden, I looked at him, and I looked at him differently. The first thing that I thought was, he’s a cute guy. So, I found him cute, and then, the way he was explaining things, and the way he was just functioning as a director, that’s when I noticed him”.

Vignesh on his part said, “After the shoot was over, she said, ‘You know what to say, I miss being on set’. I told her, ‘Yes, I also miss being on set’. I won’t lie, any guy will check out a good looking girl, and compliment her in his mind. But, I never saw Nayan ma’am in that way”.

The actress added, “This is the first time I’m actually taking a step forward. And we kind of understood that we can talk, you know, in a different way”.

Nayanthara and Vignesh tied the nuptial knot on June 9, 2022, in Mahabalipuram. Their wedding was attended by Shah Rukh Khan, Rajinikanth, AR Rahman, Suriya, Vijay Sethupathi, Atlee and several others from the film industry.

Pan-India Star Prabhas Is Unstoppable

Prabhas is picking up the pace with an impressive lineup of projects. After spending five years on the Baahubali series, he is working on other films now. Last year, he ended a series of underwhelming performances with the success of Salaar and Kalki 2898 AD. Currently, he is working on Raja Saab under the direction of Maruti, with plans to commence production on Kalki 2 shortly.

A recent update that will excite Prabhas’ fans involves his highly anticipated project, Spirit. This film is directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, known for Animal, and is expected to start filming in December. The buzz around Spirit is significant, as it marks Prabhas’ return to a powerful role—a police officer.

Spirit is touted to be a stylish action entertainer produced by Bollywood’s Bhushan Kumar, with a substantial budget. Reports indicate that Prabhas has set aside time for the film’s schedule, even as he continues working on projects such as Fauji. Fauji, directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, is a period drama that has already garnered high expectations.

Prabhas will showcase a new look for this film, adding to the anticipation. Meanwhile, Kalki 2 will move forward soon, with parts of its sequel reportedly already filmed during the production of Kalki 1, which crossed the Rs. 1000 crore mark.
