Nayanthara signs record deal!

It's official! Nayanthara has signed a record deal, to do ace director Lingusamy's new untitled film with Karthi as the hero.

It is a major casting coup of sorts for Lingusamy as he is bringing together the fastest rising young star with the number one heroine in Kollywood.

Nayan is said to have signed the film for the highest ever amount offered to a south Indian heroine in recent times. The film is said to be a romantic comedy entertainer against the backdrop of a city.

After listening to Lingu's storyline, Nayan simply fell in love with it. She is also eager to do a film with Karthi and this new pair is sure to sizzle on screen.

The film will have music by Yuvan Shankar Raja and the shoot will start in August. Nayan has given bulk dates for the film in September as it is likely to be completed in one single schedule.
