Poster: Anamika First Look Released: Nayantara Appears Sans Baby Bump

It is well-known that popular South Indian actress Nayantara is reprising the role of Bollywood actress Vidya Balan in Anamika, the Telugu and Tamil remake of Blockbuster Hindi film Kahaani, which is being directed by ace director Sekhar Kammula. The makers of this bilingual movie have unleashed the first look of Nayan in the Telugu version of the film. Interestingly, she appears sans baby bump.

Kahaani is a thriller film directed and co-produced by Sujoy Ghosh. The movie was conceived and developed by Ghosh, who co-wrote the film with Advaita Kala. It revolves around the story of a pregnant woman named Vidya Bagchi, who is searching for her missing husband in Kolkata during the festival of Durga Puja. The film explores themes of feminism and motherhood in male-dominated Indian society.

Actress Vidya Balan had played the pregnant woman in Kahaani and she was featured with a baby bump in the first look of the movie, which did not focus on any other character of the film. But the first look of its Telugu version - Anamika features Nayantara without baby bump. Interestingly, it also features the look of Pashupathi and Vaibhav Reddy. Experts in T-Town are now busy speculating on whether Sekhar Kammula has completely changed the story of the movie. Continue to read more in the slideshow.
