Nayanthara Requests Producers to Drop ‘Lady Superstar’ Tag: “I Haven’t Snatched Anyone’s Title"

Producers to Drop ‘Lady Superstar’ Tag: Nayanthara, the renowned South Indian actor, recently spoke about the 'Lady Superstar' tag often associated with her.

In an interview, she opened up about the challenges faced by women in the film industry and shared her perspective on the label. Describing it as "just another controversy," Nayanthara stated that the tag holds no real significance to her.

The actress revealed how she has urged innumerable directors and producers of hers to stop adding this title as a prefix to her name, only to realize that they have never really paused doing it.

Nayanthara said, “Oh my god. That is another controversy. I mean the kind of backlash that I have had just for this title is unbelievable. I have to tell you this: for the past five or six years, I think, I have been telling all my producers, all my directors, and all the films I am doing, I beg them to not put that title card. Because I am so scared. My career is not defined by that title tag.”

Nayanthara is hailed as “Lady Superstar” by her fans, but that title is also panned by a section of her audience who have been referring to her Chandramukhi co-star Rajinikanth as “Superstar” for decades. Nayanthara, however, cleared the air that she has nothing but respect for her male co-stars.

“I won't say I'm not dependent on my heroes. I always feel my women-centric films are doing really well. I have a certain following because of all the biggest superstars I've worked with, especially at the beginning of my career, and even till now. I think that's partly contributed, to all the amazing men, amazing co-actors I've worked with. It's their fan following that comes like a cumulative fan following for me. That's true,” Nayanthara added.

Moving on, she added that while people use this particular tag to refer to her, she as a person herself does not wish to mean that it would snatch away someone else’s rightful position in the same field of cinema. However, she added that this title just means the immense love and respect people have had for her over the years.
