Nayantara has done a full-fledged lead role in 'Maya'.
"As my script was a woman centric one, producers Potential Studios felt, it would be good to have someone established to propel the story and suggested Nayanthara’s name. She was more than happy to be in the project because she loves horror films. My inspiration to take on this genre is the Naga directed TV serials Marma Desam, Vidaathu Karuppu etc. I was keen to write a strong horror thriller that is content and character driven. My idea also took me in that direction. Treatment wise, my film will be different from others. I have treated the story as atmospheric both visually and sound-wise. Although I have followed the grammar of horror films, I have also broken some rules craft-wise.
After watching the final Product Nayanthara madam said, You have delivered what you promised and for that very reason, I am very happy to have been a part of this movie."
