Nayanthara signs Megastar Chiranjeevi’s film

Lady Superstar Nayanthara continues to prove her unmatched star power in South Indian cinema. Despite being one of the most senior heroines in the industry, she still remains a top choice for high-profile projects.

Rs 10 Cr remuneration

Nayanthara is set to reunite with Megastar Chiranjeevi for a third time, this time under the direction of Anil Ravipudi.

According to industry sources, Anil Ravipudi approached Nayanthara a month ago to play the female lead in his upcoming project, tentatively titled #ChiruAnil. After intense negotiations led by the producers, both sides have reached a mutual agreement.

Insiders say she will be getting Rs 10 Cr as her remuneration. She demanded Rs 18 Cr but the producers made her to agree to Rs 10 Cr. This is a new record for a Telugu heroine. An official announcement is expected soon, and fans can look forward to seeing Nayanthara paired opposite Chiranjeevi once again.

This marks the third time Nayanthara will share screen space with Chiranjeevi. She previously portrayed his wife in Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy and his sister in Godfather.
