The just released Maya` is Nayanthara`s first film heading the cast and she has proven that she can draw audiences on her own as the film has surpassed the 20 crore mark in the first week and what is more the Telugu version Mayuri` is doing even better reiterating the fact Nayan is indeed the undisputed queen of South Indian cinema.

It has just been revealed that Maya`s director Ashwin Saravanan and the production house first wanted to make the film on a low budget and had approached Andrea to play the lead role which she could not do for various reasons. Now the gigantic hit would have done wonders for the singer actress but her loss seems to be Nayan`s huge gain as this is a great follow up to her 'Thani Oruvan'.
