Not
too
long
ago,
speculations
were
rife
that
Nayanthara
after
the
success
of
her
recent
venture
Mookuthi
Amman,
is
all
set
to
be
a
part
of
a
women-centric
film.
It
was
said
that
Lady
Superstar
will
be
playing
a
strong
role
of
queen
Veeramangai
Velu
Nachiyar
in
her
biopic.
Well
now,
the
actress'
PR
Team
has
clarified
about
the
ongoing
buzz
as
they
have
denied
Nayanthara
signing
the
warrior
queen's
biopic.
The
D'One
team
has
issued
a
statement
that
says,
"Certain
news
stating
that
Ms.
Nayanthara
is
a
part
of
the
period
film
based
on
the
life
on
Queen
Velu
Nachiyar
has
been
circulating
in
some
sections
of
the
media.
Ms
Nayanthara
categorically
denies
such
a
movie
and
we
voice
her
opinion
on
the
same
to
the
media.
This
is
a
baseless
rumour
and
on
behalf
of
our
client
we
request
the
media
to
verify
the
facts
before
publishing.
Verification
is
just
a
call
or
message
or
mail
away."
For
the
uninitiated,
Velu
Nachiyar
was
the
first
Indian
queen
and
freedom
fighter
to
engage
in
a
war
with
the
East
India
Company.
With
the
official
statement
of
the
team
going
viral,
fans
have
expressed
their
support
for
the
actress.
On
a
related
note,
Nayanthara's
next
with
Rajinikanth
titled
Annaatthe,
which
was
being
filmed
in
Hyderabad
is
kept
on
halt
after
a
few
team
members
tested
positive
for
COVID-19.
A
couple
of
days
after
the
announcement,
Thalaiva
was
admitted
to
Apollo
hospital
owing
to
blood
pressure
fluctuations.
The
actor
upon
recovery
returned
to
Chennai
and
announced
that
he
won't
be
launching
his
political
party,
citing
his
health
reasons.
Notably,
Nayanthara
has
also
returned
to
Chennai
and
is
gearing
up
to
celebrate
New
Year
with
beau
Vignesh
Shivan.
