Nayanthara has shared about her 20 years in the film industry amidst the promotions for her film Connect. Connect, a new horror movie starring Lady Superstar Nayanthara is soon to release. The actress participated in promotional interviews. The interviews discussed important topics, including marriage, parenthood, and her experience in the film industry.
Nayanthara was asked about nearing 20 years in the film industry. In response, she said, “It feels great. Sometimes when I think about it, I can’t believe that I have completed 20 years. But there were many phases of life in those twenty years which have all been very, very nice.”
She added, “I was too young; I was 18 when I started working in cinema. I just went with the flow. After a point, I pointed to achieve certain things. When we speak about films and the film industry, my desire was that my name should also be etched in its history. I think that desire was fulfilled by God. And I think that’s a big achievement."
Nayanthara also said she had strong dreams about succeeding in the male-dominated field. The Lady Superstar, who is renowned for a number of successful films that focus on women, said, “When I started the second decade, I had some dreams. There were no women-centric films and women were not given importance at that time. I used to wonder why heroines were not given any importance. Even if we attend an audio function, they’ll make us stand in some corner. This is the reason why I stopped attending such events. I feel women should be treated equally (in the film industry) as male stars, and, if not equally, at least given importance."
Connect is backed by Vignesh Shivan, under his home banner Rowdy Pictures. The cast includes Sathyaraj, Anupam Kher, and Haniya Nafisa in key roles, along with others. The venture marks Anupam Kher's comeback to Kollywood after a long gap. The Lady Superstar previously worked with filmmaker Ashwin Saravanan in the 2015 horror thriller Maya. Connect will hit the screens on 22nd December this year.
