The career graph of Nayanthara, the beautiful actress from Kerala, has been steadily climbing with plum assignments in her kitty.

She began her Tamil innings in Aiyya with Sarathkumar and went on to do the role of Durga in Chandramukhi who wooed the Super star. Her 'balalaika' number in Sivaji has enabled her to capitalize her position in the industry very well.

Now, with Billa, expectations have reached an all time high and the stills of the film reveal a svelte and suave Nayan. She is on an enviable track now with projects like 'Yaaradi Nee Mohini' with Dhanush and Sathyam with Vishal.

She has been carving a niche for herself in Tollywood too where she has been paired with popular actors like Nagarjuna and Ravi Teja to name a few. She was in the fray for the role of Vijay's heroine in Kuruvi but missed it narrowly to Trisha. However her patience seems to have paid off as she has signed on the dotted line for an unnamed project to be directed by Prabhu Deva with Ilaya Thalapathy as the hero. Vijay will join Prabhu Deva after he wraps up Dharani's Kuruvi. The combination of Vijay and Nayan under Prabhu Deva's direction is something to look forward to.
