Maya to haunt Nayantara

Most of us are aware that Nayantara will soon be seen in a Tamil-Telugu horror bilingual that has been directed by 24-year old filmmaker Ashwin. The film, which was titled Night Show all these days, has been changed to Maya, according to reliable sources from the film’s unit.

According to the makers, Maya also means illusion, and it’s believed that the ghost element in the film is just an illusion. Interestingly, Nayantara plays a mother in the film and the story predominantly revolves around her character. Touted to be a supernatural film, Maya will be more about the characters. Audiences won’t get to see Nayantara or her stardom because they’ll be engrossed by her character. Her costumes, acting and everything around her will be organic.

This will be the first time Nayantara will be essaying a mother character in a Tamil project. In Telugu, she has played a mother in “Tulasi” and “Sri Rama Rajyam”. The young director initially had his reservations about whether Nayantara will accept a mother’s role. People aren’t used to seeing her as a mother in Tamil movies and that part worried him the most. But after he saw her playing a mother to two kids in a Telugu film, he hoped she wouldn’t mind playing the role again.
