Dhanush's Naiyaandi co-stars drown

By Ramchander

Dhanush, who is basking with the positive response for the trailer of his debut film Raanjhnaa, have a shocking news to bear with, as his two of his co-stars in forthcoming Tamil film Naiyaandi were drowned earlier today.

Two actresses shooting for upcoming Tamil romantic-comedy Naiyaandi in Tiruvarur drowned while taking a bath in a pond, a source in the film unit said. "Saraswathy, 24, Sukanya, 22, and Viji, 21, entered a pond to take a bath as there was no shooting. All three of them did not quite know how to swim. They were bathing in the pond at a point where the water was shallow. As they moved deeper into the water, they were trapped by plants in the pond," the source told IANS.

"People passing by noticed Sukanya struggling, and rushed to save her. They managed to get her out alive. However, the other two had already drowned by then. Their bodies were drawn to the bank," the source said. Police have sent the bodies for post-mortem examination. Sukanya is under treatment at a local hospital.

Directed by Sarkunam, Naiyaandi stars Dhanush and Nazriya Nizam in the lead roles. The film unit has been shooting for the last one week in Edamelaiyur village, in Tiruvarur district. Following the incident, the director returned to Chennai.
