‘Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairytale’ will chart Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan’s relationship and marriage, directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon
Actor Nayanthara and filmmaker Vignesh Shivan got married earlier this year in one of Kollywood’s most anticipated weddings. The couple, who had been dating for a few years now after working together first in Shivan’s 2015 directorial Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, tied the knot at a resort in Mahabalipuram on June 9.
Now, streaming platform Netflix has announced an “intimate documentary” titled Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairytale on the couple’s relationship and marriage, to be directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon. The project is produced by Vignesh and Nayanthara’s Rowdy Pictures.
The couple’s wedding was attended by close friends, family members, and several celebrities from the film fraternity such as actors Rajinikanth, Shah Rukh Khan, Karthi, directors Mani Ratnam, Atlee, and producer Boney Kapoor among others.
The synopsis of the show reads: “Actor Nayanthara recently got married in a fairytale wedding to ace filmmaker Vignesh Shivan. As they are both poised to start this new phase in life, Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairytale gives an all-access peek into their lives, the marriage, and beyond. We try to unpack who the intensely private Nayanthara is, and how Vignesh has made her harness the full power of her talent and love - as an artist and a woman.”

A vacuum cleaner haunted by a ghost is the kind of one-liner which can draw in a festival audience looking for a little light-hearted fun to fill the time slots available between the “heavier” films which require much closer attention. A useful ghost, the debut feature of Thai filmmaker Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke being screened in the world cinema category at the 30th International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK), even appears so in the initial hour. Until, the film becomes something more, with strong undercurrents of Thailand’s contemporary political history.

Sustainability is not an add-on, but stamped firmly into the process: every piece is biodegradable, waste-free and unembellished, free from glitter or beads. “Products should be sustainable and biodegradable so that our planet is not harmed,” says Anu Elizabeth Alexander, a student of Sishya, Adyar. At a recent exhibition, the stars she made sold the fastest, followed by the small diamonds. “I would like people to know about the process, how it is created, and that it is sustainable,” says Anu. Infanta Leon from Kotturpuram developed an interest in crochet as a teenager. It was a hobbyhorse that evolved into a steed that would help her embark on a journey of identity-shaping creative engagement. She started making Christmas-themed decor two years ago, spurred by a desire to craft safe, eco-friendly toys for children. “With a toddler at home, and my elder child sensitive to synthetic materials, I wanted to create items that were gentle, durable and tactile,” she explains. Her earliest creations were small amigurumi toys which gradually evolved into ornaments that could adorn Christmas trees with warmth and charm.
