Back to Tollywood with a Bang
Nayanthara is making a strong comeback to Telugu films. She has been signed to play the lead role opposite Megastar Chiranjeevi in a new movie directed by Anil Ravipudi. The film is a full entertainer and is planned to release for Sankranthi 2026.
A Big Demand That Shocked Everyone
When the film team approached Nayanthara, she shocked them by asking for a Rs. 18 crore salary.
