Nayanthara's new movie 'Airaa' has her in full fledged dual roles for the first time. The horror thriller is directed by Sarjun of 'Lakshmi' and 'Maa' fame. It is said that the title refers to the King of Elephants which would be the character trait of one of Nayan's roles in the film.

'Airaa' is the second time that Nayanthara and Yogi Babu are sharing the screenspace after their super hit 'Kolamavu Kokila'. The director has however cautioned that Yogi Babu has a very important role but with limited screespace. He has also made it clear that the film is not a comedy horror film but an out and out scare fest. Kalaiyarasan and Jayaprakah are the other important actors in the cast. KJR Studios owner Kottapadi Rajesh is planning to release the film on Christmas 2018.
