After starring in Thiruchitrambalam, which earned her a National Award, Nithya Menen is set to collaborate with Dhanush again in Idly Kadai. This upcoming project is written, directed, co-produced, and features Dhanush himself.
Discussing their bond, Nithya shared, Dhanush and I often discuss work, exchanging scripts and ideas. He’s passionate and creatively driven, always eager to take on more projects. Working with someone who complements you on screen and shares a great connection makes the experience fulfilling. This film is going to be a delight for the audience.
Reflecting on her National Award for Thiruchitrambalam, Nithya, known for her role in Mission Mangal, stated, You don’t start a film thinking about awards. I just knew it would be a good film and enjoyed its slice-of-life nature and deep emotions. The strong performances from all the actors and the clear vision from the makers contributed to its success.
Looking back on her role as Shobana, she said, People may see it as a simple film, but it was challenging. Playing Shobana, who came from a background so different from mine, pushed me out of my comfort zone. Adopting unfamiliar mannerisms and breaking away from my natural body language was tough, but it was worth it.
