At just the age of 21 years, Keralite Nayanthara has acquired the reputation of acting opposite male actors who are almost twice as old. She starred in her first Malyalam film opposite Jayaram, and then in "Chandramukhi" with renowned Indian actor Rajnikanth, then with other aging actors like Sarath Kumar, Mohanlal, and Mammotty. Now she has been cast to play the lead role in a much younger Simbu's directorial debut, in which he also has the lead role. Nayanthara and Simbu's intimate life-sized posters created shock waves in Chennai, which were subsequently pulled down by the police. Similar excitement resulted when glamorous life-sized posters were posted all over Chennai - this time with her co-star S.J. Surya.
After the success of her first movie, the voluptuous beauty went on to act in several movies, in which she was cast alongside the South Indian superstars like Mohanlal in Fazil written and directed "Vismayathumbathu" and "Natturajavu" {both 2004 movies}, with Mammooty in "Rappakal" and "Thaskara Veeran" {both released in 2005}, with Rajnikanth in a blockbuster movie "Chandramukhi" {2005}, with Surya in super hit "Ghajini" {2005}, and with Nagarjuna in "Boss" {2006}. Her recent movie, "Dubai Seenu" opposite Ravi Teja is slowly picking up and moving towards a big hit. Incidentally her brother, Lenu resides in Dubai. Nayantara is more than happy to have starred in a Rajnikanth starrer "Shivaji" {2007} albeit in an item number.
The gorgeous beauty has the ability to perfectly combine her histrionic talents with her sexy looks, great figure, and zestful bubbly nature to captivate the audiences with her mere presence on the screen. She is a big star in South India and currently has slew of movies lined up along side big South Indian male stars.
With her attractive looks and talent, it is no wonder that she is one of the most popular actresses in the Tamil film industry.

It will take dedication, willpower, patience and time to get a six pack but in the end, the effort is well worth it. Shah Rukh Khan had managed to do the same for a song in ‘Om Shanti Om’ (OSO).
