After the success of critically-acclaimed political drama Aramm, Nayanthara and producer K Rajesh have reunited for a new project, which was officially announced and launched last week. Last seen playing the lead in horror thriller Maya, Nayanthara has signed yet another horror flick which will be directed by Sarjun, who rose to fame with the controversial short film, Lakshmi. Currently dubbed Nayan 63, the yet-untitled project went on the floors last week in Chennai.

In a statement, producer Rajesh said, “It’s more than a happy occasion for me to be doing a film once again with Nayanthara. This joy is not just because of commencement of shoot, but because I witnessed this young team display great energy, attention to detail and focus in filming the scenes.” 

“As they say, ‘with great power, comes great responsibility’ our second association with Nayanthara is going to be interesting as well as challenging to better ourselves and give a sensational film.” The rest of the cast and crew will be finalised soon.

It’s worth mentioning that Rajesh had confirmed recently that a sequel to Aramm is in the offing. In fact, reports even emerged that Aramm 2 will start rolling from September. Gopi Nainar, who directed Aramm, will also direct its sequel which will reportedly feature Nayanthara in the role of a politician. In Aramm, she played a district collector who has to put her abilities to test, to save a young girl from a life and death situation. Nayanthara is currently shooting for Chiranjeevi’s Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy. She also has Ajith’s Viswasam and a yet-untitled project with Sivakarthikeyan in her kitty. Besides, she awaits the release of her film Kolamavu Kokila.
