Nayan Sarika may not be a Telugu girl by birth, but her portrayal of Pallavi in the film Aay has left audiences and critics alike convinced otherwise. Her authentic performance, reminiscent of someone from the Godavari region in Andhra Pradesh, has garnered widespread acclaim.
It’s no surprise that her exceptional portrayal caught the attention of Tollywood giants like Jr. NTR and Allu Arjun. Reflecting on the praise, Nayan shared her excitement, saying, “Jr. NTR expressed that I portrayed my character effortlessly, while Allu Arjun mentioned his surprise upon learning that I am not of South Indian origin.”
Nayan’s dedication to the role was evident in her extensive preparation. “Narne Nithiin and I engaged in several workshops and rehearsals prior to shooting as a means of preparation. I have trained in Telugu language skills, and the director Anji sir helped me in dialogue delivery,” she explained.
Balancing her studies and shooting, Nayan managed to complete her final examinations while working on Aay. She expressed her gratitude to Geetha Arts for the opportunity, acknowledging the support she received throughout the project.
Nayan Sarika’s performance in Aay not only marks a significant milestone in her career but also serves as a testament to her talent and hard work.
