A highly inappropriate, not to mention completely false report, doing the rounds on the internet says that Tamil cinema’s ‘Lady Superstar’ Nayanthara will don a bikini in her Bollywood debut, Shah Rukh Khan’s next release Jawan.
Not that there is anything inappropriate about Nayanthara in a bikini. But the reason being given for this sartorial intervention is that Deepika Padukone wore a bikini in Shah Rukh’s last film, the blockbuster Pathaan. As Pathaan was such a hit, maybe the bikini contributed to its success? Be as it may, a source in the know debunks the bikini theory.
There is a plan to drape Nayanthara in a bikini in Jawan. She has no problems wearing the beach attire. She has worn it in her Tamil film. But Pathaan doesn’t call for a beachside, bikini break. This is somebody’s inventive mind working overtime, the source informs.
Incidentally, Shah Rukh Khan is not at all comfortable doing intimate sequences with his leading ladies. He has kissed a heroine only once in his career (Katrina Kaif in Jab Tak Hai Jaan). And that too out of respect for director Yash Chopra’s wishes.
