Producer-director
Linguswamy
has
compared
Nayantara
with
Sridevi,
who
had
both
Northern
and
Southern
film
worlds
in
her
grip
for
long.
Linguswamy
feels
that
Nayantara
has
all
the
qualities
that
Sridevi
had
and
might
go
on
to
become
as
successful
as
Sridevi
was
during
her
prime.
Well,
it
is
true!
After
Billa
(2007)
was
screened
at
Cannes,
the
news
about
flamboyant
Nayantara's
performance
spread
like
wildfire.
Nayantara
soon
saw
many
Bollywood
producers
and
director
approaching
with
film
offers.
But
the
lady,
who
is
known
as
the
"number
one" actress
in
Tamil
film
industry,
decided
to
wait
for
the
right
opportunity
and
rejected
myriad
offers.
With
her
beauty,
grace,
poise
and
acting
skills,
Nayantara
certainly
has
the
potential
to
achieve
the
same
success
that
Sridevi
achieved.
Linguswamy
also
stated
that
his
film
Paiya
will
certainly
bring
out
the
best
in
Nayantara
as
it
provides
her
ample
scope
to
showcase
not
only
her
beauty
but
also
her
abundant
acting
skills.
