No: 1 Actress in Tamil
Nayanthara has become south regional cinema's highest paid actress. The grapevine is abuzz with rumours that last week before she left for vacation to Hong Kong, she signed a Telugu film for Rs 1 Crore.

She joins the select band of Indian actresses like – Aishyarya Rai, Rani Mukerjee, Preity Zinta, Deepika Padukone (after OSO) who are paid Rs One crore and above. The Telugu film produced by Bellamkonde Suresh is directed by hot shot director Gunasekhar and has Balakrishna as the hero.

After Billa, Nayanthara has become a sort of glamour icon, and is the new pin-up girl for the youth audiences. A top liquor brand has offered her Rs 1.50 crore to do a surrogate ad for them, which she has politely refused.
