Is Nayanthara playing Mandodari in RGV film?

News is rife in Kollywood circles that Nayanthara is playing an important role in Ram Gopal Varma’s upcoming film inspired from the epic Ramayana.

This piece of news is interesting as recently she impressed everyone by playing Sita, wife of Lord Ram in Bapu directed mythology Sri Ramarajyam.

Now the latest rumour is that Nayan is going to play Mandodari wife of Ravana in RGV’s film where Nagarjuna will play the demon king.

It’s interesting to note that Nayan who still continues to be fodder for media can make news even if she keeps a studious silence about her films or personal life.

A top actor from Telugu films point out:“I don’t think Nayan has accepted the role. At a time when she declined offers to do Gabbar Singh opposite Pawan Kalyan and the Mahesh Babu-Venkatesh multi- starrer Seethmma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettus, she is unlikely to do a RGV movie.”
