Dubai: Nayanthara does not usually turn up to these things, and said so from the stage.
She made an exception on Saturday in Bengaluru for the trailer launch of Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, and spent most of her speech talking about everyone except herself.
“It’s not that I don’t want to attend promotional events, it’s just that I am not very good at it,” she said. “I stay away from it, but this was special. Yash just made a call, and it was enough for me to attend the event.”
She nearly said no to the movie
She shared how close she came to turning the film down.
“Geetu and I have had a long and beautiful journey. We have acted in a film together, maybe 20 years ago. That was a different Geetu,” she said. “When she called me for this film, I wasn’t so sure because there are a lot of actors in the film, and usually I am a little careful or apprehensive about choosing a film where there are a lot of actors.”
