Age seems to have little impact on Nayanthara’s stardom. Even in her 40s, the Lady Superstar continues to command massive popularity across industries—and now, reports suggest, a hefty remuneration for her upcoming Kannada film ‘Toxic’.
A Pan-India Icon
Nayanthara is one of that kind of lovely actresses who always look youthful and possess charm and onscreen charisma of a person who is almost two decades younger. The actress who is originally from Mollywood made a very quick rise after migrating to Tamil film industry, being offered a major role opposite Sarathkumar at the beginning of her career. The film’s seller made her popular, offering her the leading part in such blockbuster films as ‘Chandramukhi’ with Rajinikanth and ‘Ghajini’ with Suriya.
Success Across Industries
Nayanthara’s triumph in Tamil cinema opened the doors for her to star in Telugu movies and eventually she became a well-known face in the Malayalam and Kannada film industries too. Her ‘Jawan‘ entry into Bollywood not only brought her acclaim and success at the box office but also demonstrated her popularity all over India.
Despite being 41 years old, she is still regarded as the best actress in Indian cinema with a full work schedule; she is performing in films made in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam. Her latest movie with Chiranjeevi in Telugu was released over the Sankranti festival. Furthermore, she is currently participating in the making of the Kannada mega-project ‘Toxic’ wherein Yash is the leading man.
Packed Line-Up of Films
Nayanthara’s schedule remains packed across languages. In Malayalam, she is working on ‘Patriot’ and ‘Dear Student’. In Tamil, several projects are under production, including ‘Mannangatti Scenes 1960’, ‘Hi’, ‘Rakkai’, and ‘Mookuthi Amman 2’, where she reprises the titular role. Reports also suggest she may soon sign a Telugu film opposite Balakrishna.
Massive Remuneration for ‘Toxic’
Nayanthara is the major topic not only because of her hectic schedule but also due to her huge salary which is said to be among the highest. Some controversial news which have come to the surface of the internet claim that the actress has first asked for ₹18 crores for her part in ‘Toxic’ and then ₹15 crores have been fixed as her remuneration. The official confirmation is yet to come, but the uproar caused by her has revealed her unchanging market value and necessity that no one else can fill, even after two decades in the industry.
Nayanthara, backed by her strong support and a loyal fan base, is still in the process of re-defining the parameters of longevity and success in the Indian film industry—proving to the world that the fame does not have an age limit, after all.
