From South cinema to Bollywood
Nayanthara has worked with top Tamil stars like Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Ajith, and Vijay. She even made a huge splash in Bollywood with a blockbuster hit opposite Shah Rukh Khan.

Ravi Teja: Her Tollywood bestie
Nayanthara and Ravi Teja teamed up for two films, 'Dubai Seenu' and 'Anjaneyulu'. While 'Dubai Seenu' was a super hit, 'Anjaneyulu' did average business. In an interview, Nayanthara shared that their friendship blossomed on these sets. She said Ravi is the one she's closest to in Tollywood, and since they both knew Hindi, they would often chat in that language.
Nayanthara said, 'I am closest to Ravi Teja in Tollywood, and I share a good bond with Jr NTR too. But Prabhas always seemed like a kid to me. He would behave like a small child.' She added that she is very happy he has become a Pan-India star. Currently, Nayanthara is shooting for another Telugu film with Balakrishna and has projects in Tamil and Malayalam as well.
