Nayanthara and Nazriya Nazim may be headlining two different films this Diwali, but the festive season has also brought an opportunity for the actors to celebrate each other’s work. The two stars recently shared a warm exchange on Instagram, sending their best wishes ahead of the theatrical release of their respective films, Scene and Mookuthi Amman 2, both scheduled to arrive in cinemas on November 6.
The interaction began with Nayanthara reaching out to Nazriya, who is gearing up for a much-awaited return to Tamil cinema. Taking to her Instagram Stories, Nayanthara shared a message expressing her excitement about seeing her fellow actor back on the big screen. “Can’t wait to see you on screen baby..November 6th Scene,” she wrote, extending her wishes to Nazriya and her upcoming film.
Nazriya was quick to respond, reposting Nayanthara’s message with an affectionate note of her own. “Thank you so much maam..Love you. And all the best for Mookuthi Amman ..can’t wait..All the best to us,” she wrote. The exchange offered a glimpse of the camaraderie between the two actors, who are now preparing to bring separate theatrical releases to audiences during the Diwali season.
Nayanthara Gears Up For Mookuthi Amman 2
Nayanthara is preparing to return as the titular deity in Mookuthi Amman 2. The sequel follows the 2020 fantasy comedy Mookuthi Amman, which saw the actor take on a role that combined humour, mythology and social commentary. The original film, directed by RJ Balaji and NJ Saravanan, found an audience through its blend of contemporary themes and elements drawn from Hindu mythology.
The sequel is directed by Sundar C, who takes over the filmmaking responsibilities for the new instalment. Apart from Nayanthara, the ensemble cast includes Regina Cassandra, Duniya Vijay, Yogi Babu and Urvashi, among others. With Sundar C at the helm, the film is expected to bring its own interpretation of the fantasy comedy format established by its predecessor.
Interestingly, the upcoming releases also bring back memories of Nayanthara and Nazriya’s earlier association. The two actors were part of Atlee’s 2013 romantic drama Raja Rani, which also featured Arya and Jai. However, despite being part of the same film, they did not share screen space.
Nazriya Nazim Returns To Tamil Cinema After 12 Years With Scene
For Nazriya, Scene marks a significant milestone in her career, bringing her back to Tamil cinema after more than a decade. Her last Tamil theatrical outing was the 2014 romantic drama Thirumanam Enum Nikkah. Since then, the actor has continued to remain active in Malayalam cinema, taking on projects that have further established her popularity among audiences.
Her return to Tamil comes with the upcoming film directed by Jithu Madhavan, best known for his work in Malayalam cinema. The film features Suriya in the lead, with Nazriya and Naslen playing prominent roles. The project has already generated considerable interest, particularly given the combination of its cast and director.
Scene revolves around DSP Inbaraj, a police officer who finds himself dealing with a challenging criminal investigation. As he attempts to crack a high-stakes case, he puts together an unconventional team to help him navigate the situation. The premise, coupled with Jithu Madhavan’s distinctive approach to storytelling, has made the film one of the notable Tamil releases to watch out for this festive season.
The film also marks an interesting addition to Nazriya’s filmography, as audiences get to see her return to a language in which she has not appeared in a theatrical release for 12 years. Her reunion with Tamil cinema is among the talking points surrounding the November 6 release.
With Scene and Mookuthi Amman 2 arriving in theatres on the same day, November 6, the two actors will find themselves competing for audience attention during the Diwali window. Their friendly exchange, however, suggests that the festive box office contest need not come at the expense of professional goodwill. For moviegoers, the simultaneous releases offer two distinctly different cinematic offerings, with both actors having plenty to celebrate.
