Nayan and Prabhu tight lipped about their big day

Nayantara and Prabhu Deva’s impeding wedding is the talk of the town but the couple remains tight-lipped on their nuptial. They are not ready to divulge any details of their wedding.


Recently, Nayantara flew down to Mumbai to meet her beau Prabhu Deva. It is believed that Nayan has come down to Mumbai to discuss marriage with Prabhu. Their wedding venue might be Mumbai or any other places apart from Chennai. Nayan and Prabhu wanted to keep their marriage a low-profile.


When the Tamil star was asked about her wedding, she prefers to keep mum and said that she would not like to discuss her personal life in public. Few days back, Nayantara converted into Hinduism.

Nayanthara's pays her beau a secret visit

Nayanthara, who recently converted to Hinduism and who is expected to marry actor-filmmaker Prabhu Deva shortly, is in Mumbai currently to spend time with her beau.



The dusky, long-haired actress, dressed nattily in a pair of black jeggings and a white summer blouse, who was in Kochi with her parents for the last week, boarded a flight to Mumbai a couple of days ago to spend time with Prabhu Devaa who is directing Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha in Rowdy Rathore. Speculation is rife that the couple will marry either in Mumbai or some place other than Chennai because they wish to keep their wedding a low-profile one. Sources insinuate that the two celebrities are actually here in Mumbai to finalize their wedding arrangements.



However, Nayan is reticent to discuss Prabhu with the media or anyone for that matter.



"I don't speak to the media for obvious reasons," says the attractive ex-No 1 of Tamil cinema, who was spotted managing her own luggage at the Mumbai airport.



"In fact, I prefer to keep a low profile and don't interact much with anyone except the people I am working with,'' she says. Well, well when you have a lot of awkward questions to answer then we guess keeping mum is the best thing.

Nayantara's Conversion: Criticism from Christian organization

Nayanthara’s decision to convert to Hinduism ahead of her marriage to Prabhudeva seems to have touched a few nerves here and there.



Speaking on behalf of a Christian organization its office bearer Inian John who stated that the news of Nayantara’s decision to convert to Hinduism came as a shock and caused much pain to him.

He added that Nayantara’s actions in the recent past have been totally against the principles of Christianity.



The Bible clearly forbids a Christian from coveting something that belongs to someone else.



According to Inian, Nayantara has incurred the wrath of the Lord by deciding to step away from Christianity, as said in the Bible.





"Nayantara would also have to incur the pain for the grief that she has brought upon Ramlath by deciding to marry Prabhudeva and it was evident that Nayantara was forced to convert to Hinduism by Prabhudeva," added Inian proving his point that such coercion is almost a criminal offence.








Nayan to replace Shriya in Osthi's item number

If sources are to be believed Nayantara will be seen doing the hot item song in south remake of Dabangg.


If you think Nayantara has decided to quit films after Shri Rama Rajyam then you will be surprised by this news. We heard the actress has been approached to do an item song in Osthi , the Tamil remake of Dabangg .


Reportedly before Nayantara, Shriya Saran was considered for the same item number. Though Nayan is yet to give her nod, the actress is certainly open to new offers. The hot item number which was done by Malaika Arora in Dabangg gained a lot of publicity and helped the film too. Osthi makers are looking for the same hot treatment to their item number.


Silambarasan aka Simbu has already started shooting with Richa Gangopadhyay who plays Sonakshi's role in the film. It seems director Dharani has to wait for Nayan's approval before making any announcement.


Osthi was officially launched in May and is scheduled to release end of this year.

Nayantara converted to Hinduism

Nayantara is Diana Mariam Kurian no more!



According to the reports, Nayantara who often surprises us with her bold moves has converted to Hinduism. The proceedings took place at the Arya Samaj temple on Sunday and apparently it was a moving and very spiritual experience for the actress.



Nayantara christened as Diana Mariam Kurian has now adopted her screen name Nayantara to be her official name legally.



The actress was reluctant to talk about her conversion and refused to discuss Prabhu Deva or her impending marriage. But she has confirmed that she is now a Hindu and would only admit that the reason for the change was personal and that she arrived at this decision only after a lot of soul searching.





Sources say that Prabhu and Nayantara might tie the knot in a quiet ceremony by the end of this month, and this is the reason for her conversion.



There are also other reports that the couple may tie the knot in Mumbai to keep the paparazzi away.



It may also be recalled that Prabhu Deva's first wife had also converted from Islam to Hinduism and she changed her name from Ramlath to Latha.



Prabhu Deva is currently busy with two projects: Vedi in Tamil and Rowdy Rathore in Hindi.

Computer Graphics on Nayantara's kissable lips

Nayantara, who last shot for Director Bapu’s Telugu film ‘Srirama Rajyam’ was reported to be very sentimental on the sets of the film.

The cast and crew of the film were happy at the actor’s dedication. But the director found that there was a problem with Nayantara.

The director felt that Nayantara's mole on her lower lip would hike the sex appeal of her character in the film and wanted to avoid that from happening as the actor was portraying Sita, an avatar of Godess Lakshmi of the Hindu mythology.

When the director had asked Nayantara to cover up the mole, the stubborn actor had refused to do so for sentimental reasons.

As a solution to this, the technicians of the film were told to cover the mole using computer graphics with the actor's consent.

Srirama Rajyam produced by Yalamanchi Saibabu under the banner of Sri Sai Baba Movies is the remake of the all time classic Telugu film ‘Lava Kusa’ with Balakrishna playing the lead role of Lord Rama with Nayantara opposite him as Sita.

Didnt approach Nayan: Simbu

Silambarasan has said that Nayanthara was never approached for an item number in Osthi.

Since this film is a remake of Dabangg, there were speculations on who would be roped in for the popular item number ‘Munni’. Then it was said that Nayan had been approached and she declined the offer.

When we enquired about this to STR, he clarified that the item song for the Tamil version has not been composed yet and therefore question of approaching Nayan does not arise now.

He said that only when the song is composed, he can zero in on the right actress for it.

Can this hottie be a housewife ??

Be it for her performances , her oomph quotient, or her personal life, Nayanthara has always made headlines.

But the only thing that Nayanthara, or Nayan as she's fondly called, is willing to talk about these days is her Telugu film, Sri Rama Rajyam, in which she plays Sita.

Shooting on the last day for the film was an emotional moment for Nayan. "I had grown completely attached to the unit. I can't describe in words the amount of love they showered on me. I have immense respect for Bapu sir. He's considered a living legend and I was initially unsure if I could live up to his expectations. But I'm glad he liked my work. I just couldn't control my emotions and tears on the last day," she says.

It's being reported that Sri Rama Rajyam is Nayan's last film and that she's quitting the film industry post this. She says, "I'd rather say I haven't signed on any new film. I'm going through a different phase in my life and I'm very happy with it. My priorities have changed now and I'm doing things that I've always wanted to."

With Prabhu Deva's divorce finally through, there's widespread speculation of their marriage . However, Nayan refuses to talk about him. She says, "I understand that a public figure is always under the glare of the media. But, I have my own life and I'd like to have my personal space and privacy. If there are any incidents in my life, I'd willingly tell my audience."

Nayanthara refuses STR's offer

Nayanthara may have bid adieu to films but the film industry is reluctant to let her go. Recently STR and Dharani approached her with an offer for an item number in Osthi.

This will be a remake of the famous Munni Badnam Hui number which had diva Malaika Arora Khan in a scorching routine.They were willing to pay big bucks too as Nayan has a super successful track record for sizzling numbers.

Nayan however refused politely as she wants Sri Rama Rajyam in Telugu to be her last outing.

She plays Sita in the film and the role is very close to her heart as she found it very spiritually uplifting. It will be the perfect way to say goodbye to the big screen which she loves. So her answer was a firm no.

STR is not too upset however, and he asked Shriya Saran, who was more than happy to oblige.

Speedy Gonzales

Producers are always delighted when directors finish their projects quickly and that is exactly what the producers of Vishal and Sameera Reddy’s untitled film are happy about.

Director Prabhudeva seems to be quick as a wink in finishing the project. Recently, he wanted to shoot an item song with Sophie Choudary and Vishal in Europe but he was denied visa. Not wanting to waste time, he came up with an idea of making a brilliant setting in Binny mills and completed that shoot.

It is said that he has shot almost 90% of the movie already in areas near Hyderabad.

The director wants to get over with his commitments by June so that he can marry Nayanthara in July without having to bother about other commitments.

We sincerely hope all this hurry doesn’t affect the quality of the movie.

Kareena prefers Nayan over Asin


Siddique’s Kaavalan is being remade as Bodyguard in Hindi. Salman Khan will be the hero and Kareena Kapoor has been selected for the female lead. Apparently, director Siddique gave her DVDs of the original version in Malayalam also called Bodyguard as well as Kaavalan so that she will get an idea of what is expected from her.
