Nayantara as Electra Alexander

Buxom beauty Nayantara will be the leading lady in National award-winning director Shyamaprasad's new Malayalam film titled Electra, which will mark the Malayalam debut of Tamil actor Arya as�hero in Malayalam.

Nayantara will essay the title role (Electra Alexander) in Electra, produced by Vindhayan under the banner of Rasika Entertainments. The movie is expected to start rolling by the end of November, after Shyamaprasad releases his ongoing Ritu, a tale of friendship that blooms in the changing social and emotional landscape of a small South Indian town.

Meanwhile, Nayantara is currently busy with four films: Adurs, Anjaneyulu (Telugu), Aadhavan (Tamil) and Bodyguard (Malayalam).� The actress recently bagged a female-oriented role in Telugu flick to be directed by Kodi Ramakrishna of recent Tollywood mega hit Arundhathi fame. The movie is to be a socio-fantasy-cum-graphical extravaganza like Arundhathi.

After some unlucky days and back-to-back�flops in the past like Kuselan (Kathanayakudu in Telugu), Satyam (Salute in Telugu), Villu and Aegan, it seems�Nayatara is all set to bounce back to her No. 1 position in the South.
