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.

What Next For ‘Lucky’ Dulquer Salman?

At a time when entering another language market in itself is a task and a half for superstars. But in the case of Malayali superstar Dulquer Salman, he appears to have found a way to appease the Telugu audience with his films. The same can be understood if we look at the way he is delivering one success after another in the Telugu market.

Dulquer has kept the success streak going with his recent release Lucky Bhaskar as the film is going great guns at the box office. The film has grossed over Rs 75 crores already and the chances are that it could’ve gone further up had it released with a better release plan advantage.

The fact that Lucky Bhaskar was released in competition with Ka and Amaran with both of them garnering good word of mouth took away some of the box office prospects from it. Otherwise, it could have gone on to touch the Rs 100 crores gross already.

In this context, now the discussion is about Dulquer’s upcoming Telugu films. As per reports, he has lined up a couple of Telugu films, including one with Vyjyanthi Cinemas which is still in discussion. In addition to this, Dulquer has reportedly agreed to do a film with director Pavan Sadineni which is bound to be announced soon.

As it turns out, Dulquer is happily sticking around in Telugu cinema as he appears to be on the task of setting up multiple Telugu projects at the rate of knots. He is one the verge of announcing a couple more Telugu films sooner than many anticipated.
