With the new film that she is doing in Tamil, Nayantara will become the highest paid actress in South India.

According the filmi reports, Nayantara will be paid a solid one crore for appearing in the female lead opposite Vijay in the new film directed by Prabhu Deva. This untitled movie will be second film directed by Prabhu Deva in Tamil after the super hit of last year 'Pokkiri'.

Nayantara will thus become the highest paid Malayalee actress, ever to have recorded in Indian film history.

Meanwhile her latest release in Tamil ‘Yaradi Nee Mohini' has always climbed the charts of audience approval and is the chart topper in Kollywood box office.

Even though she can have a crore for a film, Nayantara was humble enough to appear free of cost for the new Malayalam film 'Twenty Twenty' produced by AMMA.

The actress is said to have appeared without taking a penny for the songs sequences in the film which also features all the other younger stars of Mollywood like Prithviraj, Kunchacko Boban, Indrajith and Manikkuttan.
