Nayantara
has
approved
a
project
to
be
directed
by
debutant
Ashwin
Saravanan,
who
has
experience
of
directing
a
couple
of
short
movies.
It
is
a
female-centric
project
where
the
actress
will
be
seen
in
the
role
of
a
mother.
The
forthcoming
Tamil
movie
will
be
produced
by
Potential
Studios,
a
subsidiary
of
popular
Tamil
production
house
Studio
Green.
Aari
is
playing
the
male
lead
role
in
the
untitled
movie.
Nayantara's
decision
to
work
with
a
newbie
has
surprised
the
industry.
Ashwin
Saravanan
says,
"It
was
quite
challenging
because
I
haven't
assisted
anyone.
But
instead
of
pitching
the
story
to
my
producers,
I
shot
a
five-minute
pilot
scene
from
the
film
and
approached
them.
I
narrated
my
story
and
subsequently
showed
them
the
scene.
They
really
liked
it,"
The
director
adds
that
he
was
not
sure
whether
she
would
take
up
the
movie
in
the
beginning.
After
watching
her
in
Nee
Enge
En
Anbe,
Ashwin
felt
that
she
might
be
interested
to
do
the
Tamil
movie.
"Initially,
we
felt
she
might
not
do
this
film.
But
after
I
saw
the
Tamil
remake
of
Kahaani',
I
thought
she
might
be
interested
in
doing
it.
We
approached
her
and
I
showed
her
the
pilot
scene.
Two
days
later,
she
agreed
to
be
part
of
the
project," Ashwin
said.
