Actresses have always been secondary in hero-centric cinema. Actresses were always lagging behind in any measure of market value. Even the huge cutouts that rise up in the theater premises in connection with the movie have the stories of the heroes to tell. The heroines should have been given a place on the side of those cutouts. But with the passage of time, that too has changed. New history is being written by the promotional looks of Nayanthara starrer ‘Connect’.
A huge cutout of Nayanthara, the heroine of Connect, has been erected in front of the Albert and Woodlands Theater in Tamil Nadu. Nayanthara is full of solo cutout. The cutout came up in front of the Albert – Woodlands theatre, one of the major theaters in Chennai city, to coincide with the release of ‘Connect’. Nayanthara has once again proved that she is not called a lady superstar for nothing.
The story of Diana Maryam Nayantara
Nayanthara is the only superstar heroine in South Indian cinema. The Thiruvalla girl, who wanted to become a chartered accountant in life, was assigned to become the lady superstar of South India. The journey from a girl named Diana Maryam to a superstar named Nayanthara is as amazing as a movie story. Born and brought up in a typical Christian family in Tiruvalla on 18 November 1984, Nayanthara is an irreplaceable presence in South Indian cinema today.
In a sense, Nayanthara’s life was a struggle. Their careers have gone through many ups and downs over a span of sixteen years. Despite setbacks in her personal and career life, Nayanthara came back stronger. Nines of fans proved that even without the presence of superstars or lead actors, a film can be successful on its own.
‘Connect’ is produced by Rowdy Pictures, the production company of Vignesh Shivan and Nayanthara. The movie is written and directed by Ashwin Saravanan. Anupam Kher and Sathyaraj are also appearing in the lead roles in the film. The horror-mood trailer of the film has already grabbed attention. Another feature of this film is that there are no breaks. ‘Connect’ will also release in Hindi.
