Terming the film a ‘complete entertainer’ that demands strong comic timing, Nayan says she relied heavily on the director’s guidance. “I didn’t do any special preparation, but Maruthi sir supported me a lot. We discussed my character arc in detail before every shot.” Nayan, who made her debut with Gam Gam Ganeshafollowed by two consecutive hits, Aay and THEwas also hopeful that she would gain more recognition with Vishnu Vinyasam. Interestingly, Nayan says her real personality is opposite to Manisha’s. “Manisha is mature and has faced many struggles in life. She is looking for stability,” she explains, adding in a lighter tone, “It’s like those college stories students gossip about — like PT sir and English madam.”
Hailing from Maharashtra, Nayan reveals she always dreamed of becoming an actor since childhood. “I never formally trained in acting. During a vacation at my aunt’s place, a family friend, who was a photographer, asked me to pose for his portfolio. When he shared those pictures, I started getting offers as people felt I looked like a Telugu girl.” But it was not that she didn’t have a Plan B. “If not an actor, I would have become a lawyer,” she shares.
