Barely out of her teens and hardly a year in the industry, nayantara seems to have done good career-wise. But strangely her pairings have all been with senior heroes. In between she came back to the Malayalam industry with two films Thaskaraveeran and Raapakal where Mammootty was her hero.

Nayantara became famous after controversial kissing scene with simbu/chimbu/shimbu in the movie vallavan. It was picture in which chimbu was biting her lips in a very passionate way.
