Even as his second outing, Idhu Kathirvelan Kadhal, is to
hit cinema halls, the producer turned actor Udhayanidhi has repeated his on-screen pair, Nayanthara,
in his next project, titled Nanbaenda. Apparently, the word Nan baenda was made
popular by
comedian Santhanam in his earlier film, Boss Engira
Bhaskaran, which had Arya and Nayan in the lead. And Udhay has also roped in
Santhanam in Nanbaenda. Quiz Udhay on why Kajal Agarwal, who was initially
intended to play opposite him, was replaced by Nayan, he says, "The script
by Jagadeesh had several changes and we felt that Nayanthara would be apt for
the meaty heroine character" He adds, "At the same time, we were
cautious that the new film had a fresh look since all three of us were coming
together again." On his role, he says, "So far you have seen me in
ordinary boy-next-door roles. In Nanbaenda, I play a belligerent guy. You will
see a totally new Udhay."
