New Delhi: Popular South Indian actress Nayanthara has a huge film to boast of. She has acted in several superhit films and is now gearing up for her Bollywood debut in Shah Rukh Khan’s next big release ‘Jawaan’ directed by Atlee. However, she recently grabbed attention for exposing the ugly truth about the casting couch during a recent media interaction.
