Media reports claim Nayanthara, Vignesh registered marriage six years ago

Even as the probe into whether Tamil cinema’s celebrity couple — actress Nayanthara and director Vignesh Shivan — had violated surrogacy laws to become parents of two baby boys born earlier this month, unconfirmed media reports claimed that the couple in an affidavit had submitted that they got married six years ago.

The reports claimed that in the affidavit submitted to the Tamil Nadu Health Department, the couple said that the surrogate mother who gave birth to the children was a relative of Nayanthara and that she was based out of Dubai.

The couple is also believed to have said that they got their marriage registered six years ago.

When Vignesh Shivan, whose grand wedding with Nayanthara on June 9 this year made headlines, announced on October 9 that Nayanthara and he had turned parents, it raised eyebrows. This is because one of the conditions for a couple to avail of surrogacy is that they must have been married for five years.

Now this latest piece of information, if found factual, is bound to answer a lot of questions that were raised at the time of the birth of the twins.

A one-liner on an actor turning spy got me interested in ‘Sardar’, says Karthi

Actor Karthi, who plays the lead in director P. S. Mithran’s upcoming spy thriller, ‘Sardar’, has disclosed that it was director P. S. Mithran’s single-line narration on how the army chose to recruit a theatre artiste and turn him into a spy that got him hooked onto the project.

Speaking at the trailer launch event of the film on Friday, actor Karthi said: “When producer Lakshman made me meet director P. S. Mithran, the latter casually narrated a one-liner to me. Mithran told me that in the eighties when the Indian government was looking to set up a team of spies, they tried to train some of those in the military to act.

“However, despite a lot of effort, those in the military couldn’t act. That was when the think tank thought, ‘Why should we strain so much? Why should we not take a theatre actor and put him in the military?’ So, a theatre artiste was recruited and a team trained him and sent him to Pakistan.

“That idea itself was stunning. A theatre artiste being converted into a spy. It was interesting. On learning about this, I asked Mithran to write the script. After a couple of revisions, Mithran came back and told me that the script had taken shape but that it had changed into a double-action script. Mithran said, ‘This story requires double action. Otherwise, it can’t be done.’ So, that was how ‘Sardar’ began.”

The film, which is to hit screens on October 21, features Karthi in double action – one as a spy and another as a police officer crazy about publicity.

Apart from Karthi, the film also features Chunkey Pandey, Laila, Rajisha Vijayan, and Raashi Khanna among others.

Music for the film has been scored by G. V. Prakash Kumar and the cinematography is by George C. Williams. Editing is by Ruben and Art direction is by Kadhir.
