Nayantara, who has been the reigning queen of both Tamil and Telugu film industries, plans to go for an image makeover. The actress has signed her next Telugu movie Anjaneyulu in which she has a well-crafted and unique role with a good blend of glamour and performance. Nayantara has decided to go beyond regular roles and choose characterizations that will bring out her hidden talents. Directed by Parasuram, shooting for Anjaneyulu will begin in May; Ravi Teja is the hero.

The film is expected to be a complete family entertainer, and other members of the cast include Brahmanandam, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Ahuthi Prasad, Chalapthi Rao, Raja Ravindra, A.V.S. and Jeeva. The actress is very confident that 2009 would be her best year so far!

At a time when fans are ready to build Nayantara a temple of her, the actress has picked a fight on Vishu in Killikaavu Temple in Manicheri, Kerala. Nayantara is currently working on ‘Bodyguard’ in Malayalam, and has been shooting for the film near Ottapalam in Kerala. On Vishu, deliberated as the Malayalam New Year, the actress has paid a visit to the temple. Nayantara was refused entry into the temple as she was wearing a “Salwar Kameez”, as temple authorities said devotees were not allowed if they were wearing Salwars or pants. The actress reportedly shoved them aside and tried to enter the temple, when fans swarmed around her.

On understanding the situation, they asked Nayantara to apologise to the temple authorities for disrespecting them. The actress, who was not willing to apologise, called the crew of ‘Bodyguard’. But this attempt turned futile, as Nayantara was finally forced by the crew to apologise to temple authorities. This created a flutter in the temple as there was commotion for over an hour. When contacted, Nayantara denied the entire affair and said the controversy arouse when people outside the temple, who were under the influence of alcohol, abused her.
