Malayali beauty Nithya Menen made her Tollywood debut in Nandini Reddy starrer Ala Modalaindi. Since then she has worked on numerous films down South and also forayed into Bollywood with Mission Mangal. The actress has established a name for herself and is the go-to actress for women-centric films. However, the buzz has it that Nithya has turned down a prestigious biopic. Yes, your guess is right, folks.
We are speaking about the biopic on Karnam Malleswari, weightlifter and India’s first female Olympic medalist. Reports are rife that Nithya was approached for the film, but for reasons known to her she turned down the offer. We assume the reason could be she has her hands full. She is starring in the biopic of late politician Jayalalitha, where she is stepping into the shoes of Jayalalitha in The Iron Lady. Well, it is to be seen who could be the face as speculations are also rife that Bollywood diva Shilpa Shetty is also in the race.
