Nithya Menen
, the talented actress, has done movies in all the southern languages. It is heard that she has been finalized to play the role of “
Savitri
” in her biopic. Earlier,
Anushka Shetty
and
Vidya Balan
were suggested for the role. As Vidya had already done a biopic of
Silk Smitha
, the dancer cum character artist, the team thought to go with her. Finally, they decided that Nithya will suit the role best than Vidya. The film will be made in Tamil and Telugu as Savitri was a popular star in both the languages. Savitri made her debut in 1950 in a Tamil and Telugu bilingual, “Samarasam.” Besides being the best actress, Savitri excelled in directing the films including, Chinnari Papalu, Mathura Devatha and Chiranjeevi. It is heard that the biopic will not touch the worst part of her life, but the best part that had her as the best artist. Let us wait and watch how Nithya proves her mettle!
