We found a couple of reasons when sources close
to the director were enquired. Vishnu found Nayantara’s
body language to bear a close resemblance to that
of the then svelte looking Sri Priya’s,
who carried out the role with great aplomb in
the original version opposite Rajinikanth.
The other reason being that the heroine of Billa
2007 is not going to be a run of the mill stuff
just appearing for songs, a few romantic scenes
and then in the climax. The heroine here will
have to be present right from start to finish
competing with the hero for screen space essaying
a very strong and bold performance. Vishnuvardhan
found Nayan to be one amongst the current crop
of heroines, who is capable of handling a role
that is bold and rough, especially after her display
in E!.
Anyways, all the very best Nayantara. |
