Nayanthara's Involvement in Husband Vignesh Shivan's Film 'LIC' Faces Legal Hurdle

Renowned actress Nayanthara, often hailed as the lady superstar of Indian cinema, finds herself amidst a legal controversy related to her upcoming film ‘LIC,’ directed and produced by her husband Vignesh Shivan. The movie, featuring Pradeep Ranganathan, Kirthi Shetty, and SJ Suryah in lead roles, has encountered a setback as the Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) raised objections to the film’s title, resulting in a legal notice. The controversy has intensified with unconfirmed reports suggesting Nayanthara’s potential departure from the project. Initially cast to portray the elder sister of Pradeep Ranganathan, her rumored exit has prompted filmmakers to search for a replacement for the crucial role. Despite widespread speculation, neither Nayanthara nor Vignesh Shivan has officially addressed the situation. Vignesh Shivan, known for his directorial prowess, returns to the silver screen with ‘LIC,’ following his 2022 release, ‘Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal.’ The film’s puja ceremony in December marked the commencement of its production.
