Nayantara Shot A Risky Stunt For Anamika Sans Body Double: Sekhar

Southern filmmaker Sekhar Kammula, who is currently working with actress Nayantara in bilingual Anamika, a Telugu and Tamil remake of Kahaani, is in awe of her commitment. The popular actress is so uncompromising that she even said no to a body double for a stunt sequence.

Sekhar Kammula told IANS, "Initially, when she was roped in there was a little apprehension about her commitment in the industry, but she proved all that wrong with her uncompromising commitment." He added, "I still remember once when we were shooting, I had noticed she had well groomed nails that looked very cute. But I felt her character in the film wouldn't have the time or mood to have such nails. I shared this with her and she instantly got them trimmed. I was astonished by her commitment."

While Anamika is the Telugu version, the film is titled Nee Enge En Anbe in Tamil. It is jointly produced by Endemol India and Logline Productions. Sekhar Kammula says "We were required to shoot a risky stunt sequence and we were thinking of hiring a body double. Nayantara intervened and said that she will do it on her own. She pulled off the stunt on her own and her hard work is evident in every frame," he said.
