Upcoming work
Nayanthara was last seen in Malayalam in the 2022 film Gold, which saw Prithviraj Sukumaran as her co-star. She debuted in Bollywood with Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan last year, apart from starring in the Tamil films Iraivan and Annapoorani: The Goddess of Food. The film ran into controversy and was pulled off the OTT platform Netflix over complaints by multiple Hindu groups. She will soon star in the Tamil films Test and Mannangatti Since 1960 also.
Nivin was recently seen in Varshangalkku Shesham, which was released in theatres this Friday. He will also soon be seen in Malayalee from India, which will hit screens on May 1. He has multiple projects in the pipeline, including Girijavallabhavan in Malayalam. He will make his web series debut with Pharma on Disney+ Hotstar and will also be seen in the Tamil film Yezhu Kadal Yezhu Malai with Anjali and Soori, which premiered at the International Film Festival of Rotterdam last month.
