Simbu, Nayanthara to team up for director Pandiraj’s rom-com

Putting aside their personal issues, Simbu and Nayanthara, who were in a romantic relationship in the past, have agreed to pair up once again for Pandiraj’s untitled film.

Confirming the news, Pandiraj says, “I felt that Nayanthara would be a perfect fit for the character and approached her through our cinematographer Balasubramaniem, who is working with her in Idhu Kathirvelan Kadhal. She liked the role but was reluctant to agree because Simbu was the lead. However, I convinced her by pointing out that exes like Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone have worked together after breaking up. She understood my point of view and agreed.”

Nayanthara will play the role of Mylaa, a lovable girlnext-door. The director had completed the first schedule of the film, which is a cityset romantic comedy, with Simbu, and was waiting to start the next schedule as he had to find a female lead.

Simbu too, we hear, had initially felt that casting Nayanthara might give rise to unwanted rumours. “But I told him that this would work. So, he told me that if I believed this will benefit the film, he was OK with it,” reveals Pandiraj and adds that both the actors were professional enough to trust their director with casting choices.
