Why Vishnuvardhan preferred Nayantara?

February 17, 2007

It has been officially announced that Nayantara will be seen opposite Ajith in Billa 2007. A lot of names had been discussed before Nayantara was decided upon. Now the question. Why did Vishnuvardhan prefer Nayantara over some other names that were thrown around?


We found a couple of reasons when sources close to the director were enquired. Vishnu found Nayantara’s body language to bear a close resemblance to that of the then svelte looking Sri Priya’s, who carried out the role with great aplomb in the original version opposite Rajinikanth.

The other reason being that the heroine of Billa 2007 is not going to be a run of the mill stuff just appearing for songs, a few romantic scenes and then in the climax. The heroine here will have to be present right from start to finish competing with the hero for screen space essaying a very strong and bold performance. Vishnuvardhan found Nayan to be one amongst the current crop of heroines, who is capable of handling a role that is bold and rough, especially after her display in E!.

Anyways, all the very best Nayantara.
