Before Nayantara came to Tamil films, she acted in a Malayalam film 'Vismayathampathu' directed by Fazil with Mohanlal as hero. Nayantara is a college girl who suddenly goes missing and no one has a clue as to what could have happened to her. While students stage protests, Nayantara is visible only to Mohanlal's eyes. It is not true. It is Nayantara's ghost. Is she dead? No. This is where Fazil gives a twist to the screenplay.
It was expected that the film will do well like 'Manichitrathaazh,' but it had a modest run. The film's being dubbed and released in Telugu as 'Suryamukhi.' The only reason to dub a modestly successful film and release it is Nayantara!
Since there's craze for Nayan in Tamil too, the film is to be released in Tamil too. Nayan did this role in 'Vismayathampathu' before she had slimmed down so drastically.
For those who wish to enjoy looking at a chubby Nayantara, 'Suryamukhi' is a good choice!
