In Pics: Nayantara returns with Body Guard

Nayantara famous for her bikini clad act in SRK's Don remake down south, in which she played Priyanka Chopra's part and later Sushmita's part in Main Hoon Na's Tamil remake Aegan is making a comeback after four years to Malayalam cinema opposite top star Dileep. She is currently the highest paid Tamil actress demanding anything between 1-1.5 crore per film and getting it. But she accepted just 25 lakhs for Body Guard, an amount which is still considered as the highest salary paid ever to an actress in Malayalam film history.

Nayantara says, "Money is not a matter to me. Self respect is more important than anything. Now I'm very happy and free from all frustration doing this Malayalam film. But my next Tamil film will be the biggest one and I'll also do a Telugu film in 2009. There will be four big films lined up for me this year. I never bother about losing a film to save my dignity!"


She had incidentally played Jiah Ali Khan's character in Ghajini's Tamil original
