Is Nayanthara turning vegan? Here is some inside scoop

Nayanthara, who is currently in New York City, will turn vegan for her role in RJ Balaji's upcoming film, Mookuthi Amman.

Lady superstar Nayanthara, who was last seen in Vijay's blockbuster Bigil is in New York City shooting for her next film. The actress recently celebrated her 35th birthday on November 18 with her long-time boyfriend Vignesh Shivan. 

Once she returns from New York, the actress will begin shooting for Netrikann and Mookuthi Amman. 

For Mookuthi Amman, which is a spiritual film, Nayan will be seen playing the role of Goddess Amman and sources have it that she is going to turn vegan for the role. The movie stars RJ Balaji and is jointly directed by Balaji and NJ Saravanan. 

The actress has previously essayed the role of Goddess Sita in Rama Rajyam, for which she reportedly turned vegetarian, quit watching television and stopped going to parties to bring authenticity to her role.

In an interview, RJ Balaji said, "The film’s message reached a wider audience when Vijay did Nanban and Ajith did Nerkonda Paarvai. Likewise, Nayanathara plays the role of Amman for the strong message to be conveyed in my spiritual film."

Besides this, Nayanthara is working on Milind Rau's Netrikann, which is produced by her boyfriend Vignesh Shivan's Rowdy Pictures. She is also busy with post-production formalities of Darbar, which is slated to release on January 9, 2020.
