Fondly called the 'Lady Superstar', actor Nayanthara is all set to tie the knot in a few hours with filmmaker Vignesh Shivan on 9 June. At the pre-wedding press meet in Chennai on 7 June, Vignesh Shivan revealed that the couple wished to conduct the ceremony in Tirupathi, but decided to finalize Chennai’s Mahabalipuram after facing logistical difficulties. He also expressed his gratitude to the media and the fans for supporting his professional career and his wish for everyone to continue showering their support as he embarks on a whole new personal journey.

Unlike Nayanthara who is not on social media, director Vignesh Shivan is quite active and frequently shares his images and videos with Nayanthara. However, the recent viral wedding invite was not officially shared by Vignesh on his social media handles. According to the invite, 'ethnic pastels' is the theme for the grand wedding and hence it is expected that the guests and family members attending the wedding will adhere to it.

As per reports, it is expected that several A-listers including Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, actors Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Ajith, Chiranjeevi, Surya, Karthi, Vijay Sethupathi, Anirudh Ravichander, Nelson Dilipkumar and Samantha Ruth Prabhu will attend the wedding and reception.

Naanum Rowdy Dhaan (2015) , Imaikaa Nodigal (2018), Kolamavu Kokila (2018), and Mookuthi Amman (2020) are a testament to the kind of versatile actor she is.
