Director Lingusamy will commence his movie Paiya starring Nayantara and Karthi in the lead roles. Interestingly for the movie, Nayanthara has been paid a whopping sum of Rs. one crore as remuneration.

Says Lingusamy, 'I am a great fan of Nayantara. She has the right blend of beauty and glamour just like Sridevi had a couple of decades ago. In Paiya, the role is tailor made for her and she fits perfect. She is another Sridevi and lets relish her presence here'.

Interestingly, Mumbai model Milind Soman, who acted in 'Pachaiklili Muthucharam', has been urged to play the negative role in Paiya. 'After Sandai Kozhi, I am joining hands with Yuvan Shankar Raja for the movie', he adds.

The movie unfolds in a car which sets out from Bangalore to Mumbai, adds Lingusamy.
